AniMashUp Shot 001

AMU or AniMashUp was set up to practice on Body Mechanics Animation during Term Break of Animation Mentor. But these 2 weeks have 2 holidays, Christmas and New Year. So only managed to do 3 blocking shots, 1 of which has finished splining.

This is the 3rd shot, using Stella Rig.

I tweaked the hair to look like the reference video. And of course i don't need to animate the hair... :)

Reference video

Studied the reference in slow motion so much i feel like i can do the spin myself!

Blocking phase

The video seems jerky but actually its because i put it on auto tangent for the translating on ice while the rest is stepped tangent. I do this to have a better feel of the timing and spacing, so i can adjust it early in this phase.

Finished shot

Auto tangent all, added blocking pass, more in-betweens and break-downs, and also adjusted the graph to correct the popping.
