Stretch!

Hello there, 

I thought I'd share my work In progress as I work my way through my second ianimate workshop. 
I am currently talking feature workshop 2 with Michael Kiely. Our latest assignment is to animate a character reaching to grab something and to show the movement and stretching involved in such an action.


Up to this point I have stuck very closely to my reference. I have had to shorten the timings of some of the actions as I felt they were becoming floaty as they often do if you stick to your reference too closely.

My goal with this shot now is to polish!  I will attempt to create some nice arcs of movement and finish animating the hair and add some nice secondary motion to the fingers.

I was thinking it would have been nice to have a bit more story or excitement to the shot but I guess this is something I should think about before I film reference and sit down and animate!  But hey it works OK as a demonstration of body mechanics, maybe next time. :)
