PRP Artefact 1 - Final Animation & Feedback



I got some very useful feedback today from the tutorial. Most notably was the comment about Secondary Action. From the very first moment the secondary action is missing where Ren is tugging at Stimpy's arm. Stimpy's body should be moving after it as an affect of Rens pull. Even just a slight movement would've improved the opening ten fold so it is something I am going to focus on in the next artefact.

There are also moments where both characters, especially Stimpy, are just looking dead. This is because I haven't thought about blocking any smaller movements between the main poses, such as breathing. It will be important for me to think about this in the future when I do character animations where the characters movements are spaced out between each other, where something else needs to fill in the gaps.

Also mentioned were some obvious things about framing. Obvious to me anyway. A close up shot of the faces would've been ideal. It's just something I overlooked and spent time on the background instead, which probably wasn't needed. So next time no background!
