Week 05
Things are getting difficult.:D

This week we had a great lecture about anticipation & squash and stretch.

The most important thing that I learned this week is that you have to feel and not to see the squash and stretch of an object or character.

For the assignment we had to animate a ball starting with anticipation and squashing and stretching and after a jump going through an obstacle course.
We also had to create a pose of a devastated man.

Here's my assignement:
