What did you learn from the Ed Hooks Master Class so far?
Before I start my rambling, I just want to say that even though I have joined the pre-master class a little bit late, I had heaps of fun! Working on the two takes I animated taught me some valuable things about acting in animation. Prior to this task I would normally think about the one action the character is doing and what will be the best way to depict it. This assignment pushed me forward by teaching me that there are more things that need to be taken into account such as: Mood ...

It’s cleaner then all those splines….hehehehe In this pass I checked my arcs, cleaned all those flat curves/ tangents, tweaked the timing and pushed some of those poses a little further to get better clarity and nicer moving holds. It’s still...
