This week, I completed the final version of my animation piece. I focused on polishing and resolving the issues identified in last week’s feedback, including refinements in lip sync, body motion, and arc-based movement.
Key Improvements:
Adjusted head arcs and body dynamics during forward motion to feel more natural and grounded
Enhanced lip sync with subtle full-body support, ensuring the character didn’t appear stiff during dialogue
Smoothed animation curves for better rhythm and weight distribution
These final tweaks helped bring more clarity, emotional depth, and realism to the performance. I’m happy with the progress and how the animation has come together.
Final Video:
This project has taught me a lot about the relationship between technical animation principles and character-driven performance. From blocking to spline to final polish, each stage required careful observation and iteration.
I’m looking forward to applying what I’ve learned to my next project!
