Class 1 Week 7

Since it was so important, we did even more overlapping action this week! This time using Tailor (the little ball with a tail) we had to animate the little guy jumping at least three times. So this would combine the squash and stretch bouncing ball of a few weeks ago with the overlapping pendulum action from last week! Let’s take a look at the initial idea sketches I did:

So, some rough thoughts about what poses might crop up and having a think about how the tail might react during a very standard jump. Here’s the actual plan itself:

Aaaaand the final animation:

Pretty happy with it, but there are a few areas that could be improved. I think I could probably tweak the path through the air and the hang time to infinity! Anyway, here are the ‘devastated’ sketches:

And the chosen pose using Stu:
