Advanced Animation Full video

This is the full 6 week video of all animations put in one. besides the pull the box one. too lazy..

Advanced Animation Weight (obstacle course)

The last one in the advanced animation section. it is the obstacle course. This one was to teach us how to animate someone interacting with obstacles at highspeed, as well as anticipation, and timing of some movements. I think this one was the easiest out of all. took me very little time to do it. no reference whatsoever was used.

Advanced Animation Weight (pushing a box)

The next one was to understand how to animate a person pushing a box. 

again some reference was used for this.

Advanced Animation Weight (lifting a box)

In this one I had to learn how the weight affects the movement of people. animating this was kinda hard, even though we had lots of examples. but still lots of times lazyness took the best of me and I ended up doing shit a animation.
here is a video of a person lifting a heavy box.

referance was used for this. and some research was done as well.

Advanced Animation Cat running

the next thing we had to do was to learn how an animal was running.
so what I did was learn everything about a cat running. how flexible it gets, how fast its legs are moving, where and when would the paws land.

here's the full animation.

some reference was used for this. but mostly from what I remembered. while looking at a video.
here is the video.

Advanced Animation (ape walking reasearch p2.)

This here is the diagram of the monkey walk. it describes when the foot is either on the ground or in air.

this helps in understanding the timing of the walk. white dots show that the foot is in the air and the black dot shows the foot is on the ground.

Advanced Animation (ape walking reasearch)

for the ape walking not much research was done. I only looked at one video and already got the idea of how the monkey was walking.

of course my version was modified and I did not include the head turn, because I am too lazy. and that would look like too much of a trace.

Research for Advanced Animation (Ape walking)

The advanced animation was an assignment given to us by our tutor, to get the hang of how animals move(quadrupedal animals especially)  , how the weight works(lifting heavy things, pushing heavy things etc) in animation and other things like anticipation before an action. 

1st thing we had to do was to learn how an animal with four legs walks. How the body moves along with the movement and other things.
