This week my teacher said I needed to find a reference based on a plot I had envisaged. I envisaged a simple short story: a boy was playing with a bat in the yard, and he tried to swing it, but he couldn’t hold on to the bat, and it flew out and smashed the next-door neighbor’s window, and he ran away in fear.
I put a few reference together：
So I could create 2D sketches based on these references.
Feedback:
Remove this pose
Make a different angle for this pose
Changing this position to a crouched, ready position with a bat in hand, I think this dynamic enriches the striking action.
Next, in the movement of the bat coming off and the near fall, the teacher changed the action to be more effective, more vivid, and more flexible than the movement I thought.
The teacher thought it would be more interesting to make the escape action more 2D, with the characters running out of the shot quickly.
Following the teacher’s advice, I modified the animation and used 3D models to create the blocking.
This is the result of the modification：
