The exercise for this week was to learn anticipation, and more enhanced use of overlapping actions, using a ball with a tail.
Bill Tytla – “Any animation consists of anticipation, action and reaction”
Going through the Animator’s Survival Kit, I tried to understand the overlapping action for this exercise.
The task was to work on the blocking only, with movements on each bone for every keyframe. This was slightly complicated to fix timing of the animation. It took multiple revisions to get right. I tried to add anticipations for each jump to relate to the jump height and distance as well.
