Animation Reference Clips

Clip 1: Tigger

Original Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeqOP855A70&feature=related

Time: 0:15 - 0:25

 

I chose this clip because it has a variety of movement, especially involving the arms and legs, which would be interesting to animate. The actor also changes the direction he is facing several times, so the animation would show more than just one side of the character. As the actor is wearing a mask, this clip focuses purely on body movement, this might make is hard to animate some areas, such as the head, of my own character as there is no distinct reference for head movement or facial animation.

 

Clip 2: Basil Fawlty

Original Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKaQLYPf5hM

Time: 1:35 - 1:45

 

I chose this clip because of the exaggerated arm movements and gestures showing strong emotion, although the scene shows interaction between two characters, the portrayal of anger/frustration is so apparent with the exaggerated acting that I feel it would still make sense as an animation of a single character. I think this would be a good clip to use as reference as there is a lot of different actions going on stopping it from being repetitive but it could also be quite challenging to do.

 

Clip 3: Whose Line is it Anyway? Unlikely Superheroes.

Original Source: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks2dXsM9Is4&feature=related

Time: 1:30 - 1:13

 

I thought this clip was interesting because of the tension shown in the body to make it look like he was stuck to an invisible field and then the change in this when he comes "unstuck" and pulled back towards it. Whilst there aren't as many varieties in movement in this clip compared to my other two, the movement is a lot less erratic and more controlled so could make a nice animation.
