Here is what kept me busy at Animation Mentor for the past few months.

Rope Swing Re-block

Posted by Avner Engel on Nov 7, 2009 in Animation, Animation Mentor | 1 comment

This week I decided to re-block the entire start of my shot because it felt too smooth and floaty. The common feedback I got on the site was that it didn’t feel like the character was running away from someone or from something, a note I tend to agree with.

In order to keep the actions in the context of the short story I established in the previous shots, it was important for me to get that frantic feel out of the timing and spacing. Below is the re-block with a little bit more snap to it.

Thanks for watching.
