Blocking plus:
Blocking plus is the intermediate stage between blocking and spline, adding intermediate frames and character detail to make the character move more naturally.
moving hold:
A moving hold is a small movement, including breathing, a slight swaying back and forth, etc., that makes the character seem more alive. One of the tips is, when the character’s chest moves backwards, the hips will move forwards, which is a good way of keeping the body’s weight in balance in the moving hold.
Production process
Adjustments:
Based on the original version where the protagonist fell twice, I removed the second fall and replaced it with the protagonist holding his head and therefore dodging the fallen stick.
The protagonist turns when he finds the stick falling down and changes the orientation of his face
Remove some of the redundant movements and keep the most critical ones
Change the position of the hips and legs to stabilise the character’s centre of gravity during the part where the character is trying to get up
Facing diagonally towards the camera during the walk
The character slowly looks up after the stick has fallen
Detail:
When I try to add detail to the character’s breathing between the two frames of the blocking, the character should breathe very little, when the upper body is leaning forward, the lower body should be leaning back slightly.
