INSTRUCTIONS


Project 2: Cartoon Jump Animation
Project 2 requires to animate a jump animation, exaggerating poses a bit to make it look cartoony.

REFERENCE
Fig 1.1 Jump Reference, Week 9 (8.12.2024)

I first animated the legs, then the hands before exaggerating a few poses.

Fig 1.3 Jump Animation Progress 2,  Week 9 (8.12.2024)

Fig 1.4 Jump Animation Progress 3,  Week 9 (8.12.2024)

Fig 1.3 and Fig 1.4 shows the two poses I exaggerated. When he jumps, I stretched out his legs. Then when he absorbs the impact when he lands, I lowered his hips clipping into his thighs.

Based on the lecturer's feedback, I animated him to slide forward a bit when he lands, hence the extra frame.

FINAL SUBMISSION

FEEDBACK

Week 9
Specific Feedback: Too much sliding. His heels have to be in the same line when landing. Maybe he slides a bit forward when he lands.
 
REFLECTION
I'm quite proud of this one. The lecturer commented that my jump animation is almost there, which is good enough for me, considering I have other projects to work on. I've been pestering him for feedback during class so I don't have to redo it.
