Ranga Blocking

Jonah blocking from darkmotion on Vimeo.

Rather than just posting it and not explaining it to the non-animator geeks out there, this is a work in progress blocking of a character sequence. Reference footage has been used to sample rough ideas of gestures that might be useful. It really is just a sequence of important poses within the sequence. Of course, to make it more appealing, poses are exaggerated and anticipations as well as accents are added to give it more kick.This is a first blocking, which will be followed by a series of animation passes to fill in all the motion between.

Check out the reference video:

The next showing should be with a final animation pass. Stay tuned rangas and regular people!
