Character Animation Week 2

Week 2 was focused on follow through action that helps to make animated character’s elements more fluid and dynamic. A follow through can be a ribbon attached to a stick, hair, clothes, etc. This allows to show weight and material of a particular element when engaged in action.

Week 2 also focused on line of action and drawing a body. In acting class we explored different ways of movement, and how it can be portrayed more effectively in animation. Creeping, running, crawling, bending. A more successful construction of dynamic poses is achieved when using acting video/photo references.
