Don't Interrupt

[frstylfmx]

Here is a clip from Young Frankenstein. I'm trying to animate to it and it's been through a few versions so far, and I'm looking for any crits to make it better. Right now, it's just the pop through, so it's rough. I just want to get the timing and overall personality going before I jump in.

Hope you like it and thanks in advance for any crits.

It's pretty hard to make comments based on this.. there appears to be no flow of the body.. the body language is almost stationary through the whole thing especailly at the end when he slams his fist the torso basically stays perfectly in place.

I finally got a smoothed out version set up. I really think all the crits on my pop throughs came through, and what resulted is a lot more character. This version is post pop through, but pre-facial animation.

Anyways, I added in a fist pound when he says I'm working and a few more actions to show the frustration in him, but I tried to make it not so busy. Let me know what you think, but I think it's a lot better. Not quite there, but close.

Hey everyone,

Well, I got a lot of feedback about my animation pop through called "Don't Interrupt" and I implemented the posing suggestions that were given and I've come up with a full, clean version. No pop through, but all smoothed with facial animation.

It's already oodles better than anything I've done previously on my other reel or anything in general. With that said, I assume it needs work, because I'm on pass 9 and not 999, so it can't be done yet.

Without further ado, here is my "Don't Interrupt" animation

Thanks again for all the crits. They may hurt at times but they make us all better.
