Jason Ryan just announced a very cool body mechanics walkthrough by Dreamworks/ex Blue Sky animator/Animation Mentor animator Mike Walling.

Even if I have enough experience with body mechanics, at $29.99, I couldn’t resist and bought it immediately. I just wanted to hear Mike’s approach to that kind of shot and confront it with my own workflow.


The video is also featuring Victor Vinyals and Oli Josman latest rig “Skyscraper” a very good looking heroic rig I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on, it is so appealing! I might actually join Ianimate next term and eventually get that rig.

Here are the links to Jason Ryan website and the direct link to the store

Reading Victor’s blog I realised that he might give away his old Businessman rig very soon!

    I’m also very tempted by those walkthrough videos – can you tell me how long each one is please?
    Thanks!

    Amazing value at only £20 or so.Really one of my best investments in my animation education.

    Without sounding like an advert I think everyone interested in improving there animation should buy it.

    I’m only just starting to get decent at animating but I would like to hear what someone who has a good skill set at animating thought of the videos?

    I loved them. Mike is going into a lot of detail and the extra comments and anecdotes he adds are gold.

    […] Mike Walling sent me an email a while back but I forgot to post it 🙁 Here it is “Hey Olivier, can you do me a favor and post a comment saying a big thank you from me to everybody who left comments or may have purchased the walk through? I can’t stress how thank full I am that people are getting something out of what I did. For me the walk through was a trial run for some bigger stuff I am working on and in fact I have a new walk through in progress that will cover advanced body mechanics, thought process, basic acting choices, constraints, graph editor work flow, better explanation on how I polish and camera cuts. I think this will be a really fun walk through and since nobody bought just part one or part two I’m going to make it just one purchase but two downloads to keep the file sizes a bit smaller. Anyway I wanted to give you a shout out for the support, it means a lot and I love seeing people out there that are passionate about what it is well do. So keep at it” […]
