The Best 180ยบ Turn – Final Stages
**Update**
So, after getting my critique about my animation, I’m starting to see the glaringly obvious blunder of this revision. He’s too shifty.
When he’s turning around, every pose is extreme, and he lost a lot of contrast in motion with the steady rhythm of the shifting weight. I need to tighten that up.
Also, the hop at the end shouldn’t settle straight into that last pose. If anything, he’s hop straight back, follow through the arc of motion into that last pose. As in, he needs to hop back and land in that direction before he can switch into the lean on the other side.
And then we’re good to go. I’ll probably spend Saturday night fixing it.

Hey Red,
Dude, this thing is looking really good. I like his motion and his weight. The only thing I would add at the very beginning is two little little bubbles, bubbling up and bursting on either side of the foot that in the puddle. This would explain what attracted his attention that foot in the first place. But make them fast, he shouldn’t realize what’s going on so that it make sense that he’s surprised towards the end. Keep at it.

LOL! I love it!! It’s a little disturbing.
The animation is fantastic. I envy the fact that you get critiqued and get to keep working on the assignment to improve it. It makes so much more sense on a learning level. Look back at your blog and see just how far you’ve come. Unbelievable.
