Animation for modelling

Clip 1 Dream Walkers

 

This videos shows fast and slow motions, which would be good in terms of animating the timing also giving a form of anticipation as we transition from pose to pose . Throughout her movement, our subject seems to demonstrate extreme flexibility and body contortions this would mean that I could reduce the limitations of my model's movement as I rig the model. She also demonstrates great sense of balance through out her routine, whilst showing a very artistic and gestural actions as she moves thus making the animation on it's own to be very interesting. Her movement shows various archs which could be highly exaggerated. Also a squash and stretch could be applied as she shifts her balance from one to the other.

 

Clip 2 Pulling Action

 

This reference demonstrates a good use of force as our subject interacts with the string and another character.Although this reference shows more than one subject to model I was thinking of doing the animation in a way where the 2nd subject is outside the camera's view. That way we can sense the presence of another entity even though we cannot see him. Her movement is widely expressive due to the sense of struggle. Exaggerations of her actions are very plausible, also squash and stretch could be applied to the animation to emphasise on the push and pull.

 

Clip 3 Action Shot

 

This reference has a very fluid motion for an action shot, we can clearly see how she distributes her mass as she moves.Anticipation would be a crucial in this animation as her movement varies before and after she strikes her target. I see no room for a exaggeration in this animation but maybe slight camera shakes could be applied to show impact .Out of all 3 I think this is the most interesting reference, however it has 2 major problems. One is that it interacts with more than one object, and two the shots may not last 10 seconds.
