Animation Mentor 108 Taylor, overlapping and arcs
Taylor…. fun exercise someone said? well… not for me 😐 Everything went wrong this week. I started with an ambitious planning, set up few shortcuts just in case, and decided to animate in step mode for the first time. After more than 20 hours and 2 hours before the deadline, I realised it was going pretty much nowhere. I scrapped it all to restart from scratch, with no planning. No planning? well that was a mistake again. I went ahead for a 2 bounce animation when we were asked to do a 3 bounce. The animation was pretty much finished and adding a third bounce when the overlapping action was done for 2 bounces was not a very good idea. In animation it is called a “hookup” I think. It is something that animators dread and I just experienced why. Luckily I should have time to polish it this week and probably redo the entire tail animation.
