[qt:http://animation.redforty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/tailor_174.mov 480 360]

I tweaked the tail. Just working more on the overlapping action.

My third blocking pass:
[qt:http://animation.redforty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/tailor_173.mov 480 360]

I animated the tail.

My second blocking pass:
[qt:http://animation.redforty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/tailor_172.mov 480 360]

Ok, so I took in all the notes I’ve been getting: Reducing/controlling the s&s, fix the arcs, check the bounces/contact frames, adjust the speed/spacing in certain areas, and a couple others…

I muted the rest of the tail for now. I’m just working the first link, per Andres’ suggestion, to get the proper base for all the overlap about to follow. Besides, animating the tail when the body isn’t done… is not wise. If you change the body, it’s a real headache to try to move layers of keyframes, so you end up redoing the whole section anyway. I’m just going to save it for later. Maybe friday night.

My first blocking pass:

It’s really rough. But not too rough to crit. Please let me know what you think!

My first character! We have to animted him jumping at least three times with [post=56 text="Squash and Stretch"] and [post=62 text="Overlapping Action"] with the tail.

Still not sure what I’m going to do. Stay tuned.

*edit* — Here’s the plan:
