This week's lesson was a deeper look at anticipation; how to observe it in both reference and everyday life, as well as how to incorporate it into your shots.

Our assignment this week had several different facets to it. First we were to take our blocking of a personality walk from last week and add a start to the beginning of the walk. This was to force us to focus on adding animation to an already created shot, something that apparently happens quite frequently in the real world. In addition, we were also asked to add in the arms for the whole shot. Luckily we are still only in the blocking stage...

Here is what I came up with

I think that for the blocking stage it's pretty decent. It has a bit of overlap, and things seem to hit pretty well, though next week we have to clean up the shot, so that will be the true test. Oh, and ignore the weird hand positions in the beginning, for some reason the ik/fk switch isn't allowing keys correctly, that or I'm ignorant on how to work them correctly...
