Post jump body mechanics needs crit


#1

Hi,
I’m a determined self taught animator, and I’m trying to learn body mechanics right now. This is a post jump animation which I’m working on. I’ve nearly finished blocking, but I would appreciate any hints or tips at this stage which can help me.

Thank you very much!

Hey hey!

Nice blocking animation. Here´s my opinion:

First jump could have more weight in the character. The anticipation should be bigger (in time) and the jump quicker.

After the first jump is the character trying to regain balance? Its difficult to understand whats happening because everything looks to have the same time.

The hole animation looks it doesn ´t have that much antecipation in the jumps.

Hope it helps. Keep up the good work ^^

Cheers
