accent- hammer swing



Richard Williams' keys.... just wanted to try it. the fulcrum of the hammer swing is a shortcut....I wanted to focus on the accent/spacing of the hammer swing using the motion blur (speed lines).

accents- points



a test of a point accent using Richard Williams keys and timing charts. this doesn't seem to read as well to me with a 3d puppet as it would probably read with hand drawn animation.




a RW soft point... this one reads a little better in CG.

technical test- hand drag on console



I had a lot of trouble with this situation in a shot I did for school....I found a wonderful solution, and what gave me fits for weeks and weeks, took 45 minutes to setup and animate. This is still rough, but look what I got in 45 minutes! A miracle I tell ya.
