10/11/23 – Weight Shift

In Maya this week we were beginning to plan the weight shift animation. This requires applying everything I have learned in the previous animations since the weight shift utilizes are, overlapping action, momentum, squash and stretch etc. I’m personally interested in making quite a stylized weight shift, and I will be recording my own reference for the purpose of creating my block out. We also created poses based off of sketches from our sketchbooks, which is helpful in understanding how to pose the human body.
