Happy New Year! For my first post of 2009 I’ve uploaded a polish pass on my shot. Thanks to everyone who gave some very helpful feedback. I added some clothes to Bishop and also started developing the room set which I’ll take a little farther when it comes time to render. There’s still some work to be done like fixing a few more pops on the knees (they seem more noticeable now that the character has clothes). Take a look and feel free to leave any feedback.

UPDATE 1/11/09: I’ve replaced the original video with an update consisting of changes from all the feedback I got. Thanks again!

    GREAT GREAT work!!!

    2 parts seems a bit swimmy to me:
    1.) 100-120. His head and torso seem to drift a bit. How about varying the rate of when they drift to screen right. Really slow out of it, quicken it just a bit, and then really slow into 120.
    2.) 120-138: the head only seems to be a tad drifty. However, the scr right arm seems to be more notoceably swimmy. Maybe try lessening the slow in near 140 (make it faster and stop a but more tightly).

    On 52-57, it feels a bit poppy on the head especially. The head seems to come down at the same time as the torso. This is a good time to play with overlap on the head. It’s a great idea though.

    Love that stomp out!

  2. Amazing staff!! I love the last walk, such a good appeal.

    Great acting! I love it!

    The only thing that bugs me is from 245-275 he looks like he could use more weight in his steps. I suggest bringing his hips down a bit more with each step.

    Hope that helps.

    Hey Dave,
    GReat animation here ;)
    the only thing that sticks out for me is around frames 52-54… check your spacing… his knees pop open rather quickly…
    Nice Work!!!
    Cheers!
