No Anticipation
One of the most important principles of animation is drastically minimized or missing over here when Bruce Lee kicks and it is Anticipation! This is because martial artist try to avoid their opponent making a prediction and startled instead. A good reference if you are doing a KungFu fighting sequence π
Bat Man of Shanghai
Amazing fight sequence. I really like the style of animation and effects.
Old Spice Muscle Music
Pretty amazing how he controls the muscle contraction and spasm but also the video is a good reference for studying muscular deformation!
A fox tale
Enjoy some KungFu fighting!
RigTips ~ Setting up a Wrist Watch
It’s been a while since I created a rigging demo! This time the video goes over some of the tips and techniques that can be used to create a flexible yet simple wrist watch setup or similar accessories on a character body.
Initially a query from one of my student over at Puppeteer Lounge I thought of creating a video tutorial for the procedure being applied for everyone to look at. So here you go, hope you find it useful. Cheers π
