WEEK4: SELECTING A RIG AND PLANNING/BLOCKING FOR BODY MECHANICS

  • WEIGHTLIFTING PLAYBAST

Firstly I used the footage same as class’ just in case this is my first time to animate body mechanics. The footage process is quite simple we just need to add the footage into AE or other video processing software to add a frame rate code. And I choose to output it by quicktime format( this is different to tutor’s, cause I could directly upload it on the camera plane, I think it’s more easier).

Then I started to block out keyframe. A useful tips for that we could paint the motion curve by Maya grease pencil tools to help us better control the center of gravity.

Finally I got the block out video

  • BODY MECHANICS

I use the same process as I told above, and find a good reference on a Youtube channel ‘endlessreference’ in this channel we could find so many useful references which got front and side view! So that we could animate more correctly.

And here is my footage

Here is the block out version

Finally I try to smooth them all and add break down keys for it.
