I forgot to post the most recent JUMP!

so , I never posted the final version of my jump over the gap.  But it was done a while ago!

and one little note here, I haven't change the shoulder when he's in the air. need to do that.

here it is,

Lifting Weight!!

Yay! I have my models and props ready now! Now the fun part! Animate!

Here's how it looks like,

Heavy Lifting!

Lifting weight that is!
I thought I had an awesome idea in the beginning, but after a few days test, I think I have to abandon that idea.  It focuses way too much on acting that's not weight lifting.  It will look cool, but doesn't serve my purpose.

Luckily, I have another idea in my mind.  Excited.  Have to test it out too.  But I have a feeling this is going to work way better than the first idea.  Fingers cross!

So many things have happened recently.

Globally or personally.

Feeling weak about moving on with my animation...

Interview of Pixar President, Ed Catmull

Sunday in American Museum Of Natural History

I went to AMNH this past Sunday.  I was supposed to meet up with a group, but got there late and couldn't find anyone.  So I decided since I was already there, might as well start to draw!  

Animals. They are hard!!  Plus it was weekend, a lot of people and kids around, I couldn't get into the mood of drawing realistically.  So I just drew whatever please me at the moment, and ended up with these messed up drawings.  

As I was drawing my gemsbok, a little girl came over and looked at my sketch book.  She paused , and turned to the display window quickly, then turned to look at my sketch book again.  She ran off , and yell to her dad, "Daddy! what is she drawing?!"    Her dad said to her calmly, "We have to be respectful..." as they walked away slowly.  I wonder how her dad would think when he saw my sketch book...  "OOh! thats a Gemsbok being shot!"

Blocking is done!

First blocking of Tobe jumping is done! Yesss!  Now I can move on to the next stage!  :D
Comments? Suggestions? Very welcomed!

* so Roger just brought up this good point, he can't tell the width of the gap!  I am a bit concerned about that when I was blocking too...  Any idea to fix that?  I need the camera to stay still though...
