Week 13 Advanced and Experimental 3D Computer Animation Techniques Project 1

This week I revised my animation and checked it with my teacher, who was very generous and patient in giving me lots of advice.

To summarise what the teacher has asked to be changed:

1. The body and head will be delayed to varying degrees when the character moves
2. The character’s waist and hips move in a figure-8 trajectory
3. Removal of the hand propping on the floor
4. Lift the body before the head when the character bends down and gets up
5. Baseball bats should fly faster
6. In a scared pose, the character’s upper body should sway with the shaking.
7. Characters should run away faster

Here’s the effect after the change.
Blocking is an exciting way to make basic animation. I rarely animate this way, which may also be why my animation could not be more varied.
Blocking helps me to see more visually if each movement is appropriate so that my teacher can give me more straightforward feedback.
