So to start with here's the blocking of my Ballie animation. I chose to have ballie take a step to the side.
This is what I ended with for my grade.
This is what I started the week with.
That just goes to show the power of the Public Review. Between watching other students' work and having other students criticize mine I added breakdowns between my keyposes and really pushed Ballie's performance.
In the first week I was hit by the "Belzer Bus" pretty hard gradewise. (The Belzer Bus is the nickname given to Mike because of his brutally honest and hard critiques and grading.) I got hit because my thumbnails for this assignment while being good at hitting the keyposes were lacking in the development of breakdowns poses between those glorious golden poses. What kind of a grade does missing breakdowns in thumbnails earn one when faced with the Belzer Bus: C- (OUCH!)
Painfully soothing. By the way the opening blocking scene earned me an A- for week two. As the Belzer taketh, he giveth.
Having more time to actually do the work is really helping. I knew that I understood all of the fundamentals from Class 1. I just wasn't getting enough time to exercise my knowledge.
Oh yeah I suppose that I almost forgot to mention what Class 2 is about. Class 2 is focused on body mechanics which is why we start with Ballie. So far Class 2 rocks.
