The animation is pretty good, but your holds are too static. Even though he's standing still, try to keep some movement in there with some moving holds. For example, his hand in the air is perfectly still, while the other is dangling nicely. Even though he's holding his hand still, there should be some movement, maybe from the dangling hand's momentum pulling on his body or something.

admit it adam you love that sound clip, i think its starting to haunt my dreams :eek:.


i think the body in general should move a bit more during the back to the future part as it feels a little stiff.

Its funny that its been here so often lately. Did animation meat just post those or something?
I've seen so many animations to this sound clip where I've imagined how I might have done it that I might do one myself.

[dalmanna]

yeah i think they did. its in the practise

i'm thinking the same thing. perhaps everyone should have a go, then the noobs can learn from the pros and the pros can er.......look really cool? or learn from each other...yeah that too

actually, I think it's been on the Animation Meat site for quite awhile. I had thought about doing one of the audio clips there for awhile, for never had the time until recently.

Oh! And rybread...good animation... Best part for me is the slide-in. The hop, after sliding in seems a little forced. I agree with Adam that the poses are little static, maybe you could add soem variety to the poses as well...like instead of looking always in the same direction, that he looks from one side to the other? Or maybe I'm being too influenced by my own version (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=3241412#post3241412) that I'm working on!

Good work!
