Maya file + video reference: 2JumpsHomework.zip
Check Blackboard for a video demo of the jump in place. (Should be under the "assignments" tab)
Use the video reference as guidance for the forward jump.
If you have any questions about this assignment, feel free to message me (check the syllabus for my email and skype username)
2 jumps! (with NO arms)
**One in place
**One with forward momentum (don’t use master mover!)
Make sure you post at a 3/4, front and side view of the 2 jumps. They can be in the same animation file or in separate syncsketches.
Ease in & out of your poses (no even spacing)
Generally should be a change of speed in A to B movement
Drives from the core
Pay big attention to the body overlapping
Things shouldn’t hit at once (for example, feet don't have to land at the same time)
Main sections break up
WEIGHT!! Spacing on the jump (think back to the bouncing ball)
Hip rotation!!
Which foot did they push off? Which foot did they land on first? Show in the hips using hip tilt.
Clear silhouettes (check front and side view)
Squash/stretch poses (anticipations)
No foot sliding!
Avoid twinning in the legs
Proper foot rolls
Arc reversals (in spine!)
Arcs in motion
Proper forward translation in body on jumps (use the root ctrl to move the character forward)
Come to a settle at the end
