07 Dec 2005Hey everybody
Yesterday I had this sudden animation itch and decided I wanted to do something simple, and with some help of Mr Williams' "The animator's survival kit" & Keith Lango's pose to pose tutorial I came up with this.
Funnily enough I read both the book and the tutorial more than once but I never followed this pose to pose method. o_0 Good thing I've seen the light now. It's a far cry from my other (rather awful) experiments.
C&C is greatly appreciated, I still have a long way to go.

07 Dec 2005I really like it!
It has a certain style to the jump that is rather unique and works. The only issue for me is the mid air landing. -
07 Dec 2005the jump is great, except his legs arent quite under him at the end. the center of balance is good up until he lands. in real life, your calve muscles wouldnt be able to hold you up at that anglew and u'd fall backwards.

07 Dec 2005You are certainly getting the idea here. Good anticipation and follow through, the weight is fairly good too. I'd listen to the crits above, the head does snap quite a bit at the end and the feet really should be on the ground
As he leaps, I'd leave the feet on the ground for another frame or two - they come up too suddenly making it the leap look a little too effortless. The hands coming to rest at the end look a little off to me, have them snap down some more on the landing and try to avoid mirroring them (as at the moment he looks like he is holding an invisible object)
Good choice of research material btw - Williams's book is very useful. -
