This week we were told to find references for our body mechanics assignment and make a plan on animating them. We were given different options from which I selected “Jumping from a ledge”. After deciding the animation which I want to do I started looking for references on Youtube. For my animation I was looking for parkour references and jumps like Spiderman and Miles Morales. It was then when I came across a Youtuber named ‘Hero DW’ and I then I saw one of his video where he had done a backflip jump from a high ground and i selected that for my animation.
So, after I found the reference for my animation I started with my planning and drawing a 2D test animation to check if i got the timing right or not.
