weight lift (WIP) blocking

another suicidal attempt! my weight lift blocking is done and it's 40 secs long!!! (i know i have a problem.. i cant think of shorter concepts!)! but this time i've got time on my side, so i pretty much think i can pull it off! (submission is on 9th jan, though i dont wanna spend more than a week on it!)

well this has been one of the MOST interesting assignments to work on! i enjoyed playing with constraints, parents, locators and stuff! and this time i didnt think too much abt the gag, just wanted to concentrate MORE on the body mechanics. and since he's lifting a TV, i wanted him to be EXTRA CAREFUL while doing that (as advised by vinay and roshan). hope that part has come out convincing enough! ;)

btw i got the idea of lifting a TV from a real life incident: when i almost wrecked a friend's monitor!! well, some of u know what i'm talkin abt! lol! :D

c&c please!

hehehe! good one! pretty good for a basic blocking. i liked the feel of him actually tightening the screws, done pretty neat for the blocking. will comment more when you open it up!

Hi dapoon as always this is good..

* the 3 steps u take after the lift...i dont like it...i feel its like he is faking it right now..it should look natural..the feel of weight should be there that's all..

* as u told but really i think u can remove the gag...because the gag look bad..hahha..

* i dont know if others feel the same...when i watched ur weight lift animation first time,i dont know why but ur jump and this animation look similar to me,may be its because of the gag r something..i am not sure..
i mean the similar style of animation..

* the first time he touches the tv box to lift it,i think the force is not there..i feel in that angle the body is not doing much..

* when u open ur animation i think u will face problems in few places....like adjusting ur leg before u pick it up...

* but i am sure u will fix most of the problems once opened..

my best part of the animation is that screwing thig...BWHAHHAHHE!! thats a awesome idea..something i wonder why i didnt think about this kinda of things..hehe..
and then that 2nd adjustment u make after the lift...thats really good :)

Cheers
