Kelsey Heckenkamp - Creature Progress

Before scrolling through it, I feel I should note that there's going to be a longer walk in the beginning and at the end nico is going to redirect himself on the bed and then lay down. I most recently did the jump. I still need to work on curving the feet. Since I dont have much time left, I was thinking about deleting the geometry on the tail so I dont have to worry about animating it, or at least maybe shorten it to a bob tail. My reference for the jump is in the link below:

Mary Castaneda - Creature Progress



I've been cleaning up my creature jump. This is what I have so far. The arms still seem off, but would love to hear anything that you think can be improved.

Animation Timer App

So this is probably  little late in the game, but I just remembered I had this app and I thought I'd share.This is basically an Animation Timewatch created by animator Randy Cartwright. It's a great tool to figure out your timing and spacing for each character movement, breaking it down at the 24fps range that we need to measure. 


I don't think he has an equivalent for the Android Market, but if you guys know of any let me know, and I'll add links to them to this post. 

Have a great week guys!

Your Opinion! Give!

Has anyone taken either 105 Acting 1 or 141 Movement 1: Physical Acting?

What did you like best? Least?
Is there a teacher you would recommend?
And is there anything you think important to know before diving into the class?

I'm looking for the most amount of relevant application to animation while also being obligated to play a goof in public- and hopefully grow more comfortable with the idea. Your feedback would be hugely helpful for deciding on an elective for Fall.

Thanks :]

Scott Cho - AFG pass (idle pose redone)




Hey guys.  I came up with two different idle blocking pose to show his furious behavior in a last minute (between 0:03-0:05).  I will come up with more idle poses and I would be glad to hear some ideas regarding to the pose.
