Progress on Body Mechanics Animation
Today, we did not learn any new material but continued refining our existing work.
For my part, I focused on improving my project. However, I encountered several challenges. At one point, I became unsure of what I had already completed, what still needed to be done, or even the purpose behind some of the changes. I was making revisions based solely on my tutor’s instructions, without a clear understanding of the overall direction. As a result, I began to feel lost and uncertain about how to proceed with the polishing process.
To address this, I decided to attend class and speak with a classmate to gain advice and feedback. I believed that hearing another perspective could help clarify my thoughts before presenting the work to my tutor for further feedback. This experience reminded me of the importance of seeking guidance and reflecting critically when facing creative obstacles.
Lately, it feels like things are not working very well. I have been trying to fix the issues step by step, but in doing so, I have ended up adding more frames that capture incorrect poses. Each attempt to correct one problem seems to uncover another—such as misplaced foot positions or awkward timing. Still, I continue to work through it, focusing on each flaw as it appears, hoping that persistence will eventually lead to clarity.
I tried to further polish my parts, including adding the bending of the back after the character and the overshooting hand movement at the end. However, it still does not seem to be working very well. I will continue refining it based on the feedback and hope it will improve soon.
