Animation Mentor body mechanics
In March 2023, I wrapped up a 6-week workshop with Animation Mentor. Under the instruction of ex-Disney animator Jay Jackson, we focused on character movement and mechanics. The first few weeks started with a basic walk and run cycle and later progressed into jumps and various physical actions. I learned a ton and enjoyed utilizing simple characters to focus purely on movement and momentum. The following animations are displayed starting from the last week of the course to the first week.
