Blocking pass on Vanilla walk

this is just the 1st pass at my vanilla walk. Everything is just blocked in at this point. Vanilla is referring to it being very plain. It is what it is, just a normal walk with no character and everything moving like they should.

Secondary action

I did two assignments this week. Emphasis on secondary action and fallow through.

Pendulum Final

The goal of this assignment was to focus on the fallow through and overlap on this box with a tail. I feel i was somewhat successful. I probably should have gone with something simpler than what i ended up deciding on but i was torn between focusing on just the physicality or having more fun and putting character into the assignment. At this point I need to leave the character entertainment value out and get things moving correctly. There will be a lot of assignments down the road that will be all about creativity.

Pendulum Practice

Since I have done this assignment before I thought I would do a basic animation and a more complicated one. So here is my basic pass.

This turned out alright but even with an easy attempt like this has so many minute details that need to be right for the movement to read properly. I was somewhat successful in this exercise. I'll have my more complicated attempt up in a few days.

Devastation

The other part of the assignment this week was to pose the Stu character in a in a way that convey's devestation (with no props).

Somewhat successful in this pose, There are a few things i could tweak to make this a stronger pose.

obstacle course

This week we had to send a bouncing ball through an obstacle course. The emphasis was on giving the ball squash and stretch.

I think i will go back and add some more squash and stretch to make it a little more fun and interesting to watch.

heavy and light revision

I made some minor fixes to my heavy and light assignment. Just subtle stuff but that is some very important stuff:)
