This week we took an in-depth look at the hips. This is an area that I have always had a hard time with and hopefully by the end of next term I’ll have a better understanding of it. I don’t know how to summarize what I learned this class as it was very visual. We went over a lot of reference video watching what the hips were doing during different movements. The take home message here was that almost all body movement starts in the hips.

The assignment this week was to take either our vanilla walk or our character walk and animate it in ¾ perspective. I chose my character walk because I wanted to work on it further to see if I could fix it. It turns out that I still couldn’t get it right, but here it is.
