- Planning the animation
Reference:
I was planning to make an animation of a martial arts performance and selected the video shown in the above picture. However, due to time constraints, only five seconds of it were chosen. The movements in martial arts performances are coherent and aesthetically pleasing, which is also the reason why I chose it as a reference.
Plan:
Before the blocking part, it is necessary to analyze the key actions of the characters within the sequence frames in chronological order to better present the movement trends and trajectories of the characters. As shown in the figure, I marked the arrangement of the character actions at 60 frames and 24 frames respectively in blue and green, and annotated the movement rhythms of each part of the actions using notes. By drawing the movement trajectories of the characters’ limbs, I can better understand the dynamics of the characters.
