Hi everyone, I am a student at the Art Institute of Vancouver Burnaby. This is a weight lift assignment that we have been asked to post online for critiques. So, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Myles,

Looks pretty good, nice sense of weight on the box and the characters interaction with it!

There is some weird movement before he drops down to grab the box, I think it might be an anticipation youre trying to put in there, good thinking, you must anticipate here, but the hips seem to pop up quickly and hold there for a while then move into the down position, all the while the head doesn't really move with the body. To anticipate correctly, try raising the hips up AND back with maybe a curve in the spine, ease in to the anticipation then ease right back out of it don't hold the anticipation for more that one or two frames, then the momentum is lost.

knee movement @ 0:07 seems unnecessary, its distracting. If you need it out of the way of the lift, then I would have it get there during the motion when you have him drop and get ready to lift.

I like how, at the left, he drops his weight then thrusts it up to handle the weight of the box, but at this drop the box does not move. You should key it to drop back down a little too.

Nice job Myles!
