Our current animation assignment is to have a character jump over something. We have complete freedom to choose what they jump over, I went with the rooftop idea. This piece is a short exercise in a more action oriented direction. I wanted to emphasize that idea, so I’m doing a sort of rooftop chase sequence.
So far I’ve just been blocking out the run cycle, this is my first time to attempt one. I spent a good 5 or so hours on the first 7 frames of animation. It took a long time for me to work out the pacing and to get a good idea how far each cycle would go (distance). I needed that information to block out the rest of the steps leading up to the ledge. I feel happy with where it’s at right now and I’ve since moved on to blocking out the rest of the animation. I took a break and did a little scene building as well.
