Jump

BRIeF…

We were assigned to do a jump but instead of doing a simple jump, I wanted to try something more complex.

Rig: Bonnie

What worked?

The jump animation was initially supposed to be a simple jump similar to my reference video, but I wanted to make it more than just a simple jump on a box so, I found a few reference videos of people parkouring off roofs. What worked in this animation was I was able to give the character weight when she steps or jumps off the ledge of the building.

What didn’t worked?

I wanted to add a running start to the animation but ended up cutting it so the jump is more focused than the running start. Also, I wanted to add a roll to the animation however, I was not supposed to add turning or rolling in this assignment.

What to improve?

If i were to improve on this animation, I would add my ideas mentioned before and add a bit more overlapping and anticipation before she jumps off.
