Long time no see. Last week was a very important week for me. After failing my walk cycle assignment last term I didn’t really get the chance to experiment too much with animation workflow so this week was the time to get my hands dirty.

This term is about body mechanics but also the time to find our animation workflow. We have been shown different refining techniques from the entire GE (Graph Editor) workflow (Pixar’s Victor Navone) to the 2d animation one (Chicken Little’s Jason Ryan) and it is time to apply them and pick the one that makes more sense to us.

I was very busy last week so couldn’t really push the refining as far as I wanted but I think that I am seeing the light now.

Watch out that space and you might get to see some interesting stuff in here very soon.

So what have I got for you this week.
