Part 3, in Progress.

The first blocking pass on the third part of the obstacle course I'm doing for Advanced Body Mechanics. Here's where I am so far:



Not a bad start I think, I feel like it captures the motions and intentions of each move pretty good so far. I've got a few difficult spots I'll really have to focus on, mostly the transitions and the close interactions, getting the weight and source of power on each move to read. Should be fun.

Obstacle Course Parts 1 and 2!

Here's some updated work, the final submissions I used for the first and second portion of Class 3, Advanced Body Mechanics. I'll try and post the first wave of blocking for Part 3 as I work on it this week, forgot to keep up with that.

Part 1, flipping around a high bar and vaulting a low log.



Part 2, navigating a couple of balance beams.



Looking at this now I'm already seeing much I'd tweak and do different, especially with Part 1. I hope to try and tie all 3 parts into one continuous shot, as was sort of the intention of the assignment design I think. I'll have to re-polish a bunch of these sections, as well as totally redesign the camera movement to better follow through, but I think it can work.

Part 3 is going to include a high and low log to get around, and a wall to climb. Should be pretty fun.

Fixed Progress!

Youtube just makes more sense, and seems to work better. This is Class 1 and 2 from AnimationMentor.com. I can already see so many areas I've improved on, and more I still need to. But we can't move forward without first looking back.
