An update on my Ballie assignment taking it to blocking plus:
Blocking plus
The next step is to refine and polish and then work out the video reference and planning for the next assignment. I’d like to use this for my reference if my mentor buys off on it:

I decide to go back to AnimationMentor and retake class 2 and really focus on body mechanics and getting a better sense of weight and physics in my animation.
So here’s the before - my progress reel from all of my AM work:

And here’s my first new assignment - blocking Ballie doing a simple 180 turn.
I’m really focusing on developing a good workflow and keeping it simple (thanks to my mentor Dimos!) and really keeping the control away from the computer. I’m really happy about my decision to retake a class. The thing about animation — and life! — is that you (should) never stop learning and you get out of it what you put into it!
