Week 6

So we are at week 6, which is halfway through the first quarter of Animation Mentor. This week dealt with overlapping action. To me animating overlapping action can be both fun and tedious, but can really make an animation more interesting to watch when done well. Without overlap things can feel really stiff and take you out of a scene. On the other hand too much overlap can make it look way too distracting and rubbery. It can be hard to find that spot that feels just right. It's one of those things I spend a lot of time thinking about when I'm polishing a shot. As with anything in animation it's good to remember that rules can be broken.
