Always good to know
Asking for help is always a reliable method to achieving a believable result. Even if it is asking a friend to draw a simple figure doing an action that you don't feel confident in drawing yourself, it will be a reliable resource to call upon and should be utilized when necessary (this is not, however, an excuse to bug people into doing your job/ being lazy, so I am trying to put an emphasis on "necessary")
Videotape yourself doing what needs to be done (exercise common sense, of course. Stay within logic). Carlos Baena stresses the importance of keeping a keen eye on weight distribution so that the product will be more believable. Artists are only actors with pencils, so get up and get silly.
"It is important to try to not copy real life, but instead think of it as a chance to try to push movement and make a caricature of motion while still keeping the character with weight"
Seems like good advise. Always good to keep in mind
What I think
This guy is hilarious xD He gives great advise and some of the videos were hilarious! I definitely liked the video with the camera test (I think it was a camera test anyways...) and also the final video where Carlos is flopping around on the floor. Very entertaining!
Excellent advise delivered in a memorable and entertaining way. Hey, if flopping around like a fish out of water is an effective way to improve ones skills, then EVERYONE DO THE FLOP! *flops*
Curiosity
Which method (storyboard/animatic, movie references, or personal shots) provides the most information? Which is the best source to rely on for movement references?
EVERYONE DO THE FLOP *flops*
gosh I love this guy xD
