Soccer shot

[Animonster]

Hello,
There are a few things that could use some tweaking:

1)After the character bounces the ball off of his chest, it looks like he pops the ball to the ground with the bill of his cap...I don't think that is what he's doing, though, so that forward rotation of the torso needs to be made so that he leans back a bit more on his landing.

2)There is some dead space from when the character lands to when he kicks the ball - I would probably move the start of the kick closer to the landing or add a more exagerated antipation movement. Alternatively, you could use this dead space to compensate for more time needed for making the ball look more convincing (see #3)

3)The movement of the ball doesn't look very convincing. Everything looks very linear in speed and timing. Look at some reference video...maybe at http://www.bbcmotiongallery.com/ ...to get the feel of more realistic movement.

Hope this helps some.

hi, agree with the above comments but would also anticipate the chestdown with his arms stretched out and then recoil them from the elbow on the impact, instead of curling the wrist inwards.

hope this helps!

I thought th animation looked pretty good. lots of cartoony movement that suits the character. the only thing that i noticed after acouple of playbacks was that the ball kind of pauses in mid air a little after it bounces from his chest. but it looks like this'll turn out pretty good looking

eae bradok!! legal fih, eu acho que o movimento de entrada do personagem tá muito rápido, se vc estiver preso ao tempo talvez compensa vc cortar essa entrada e já iniciar ele matando no peito.
ahh.. achei tbm que o kick da bola tá muito rápido, eu faria algo mais suave.

continua ae que vai ficar baumzio!! :thumbsup:

abração fih!
