Reference Gathering

I collected several means of reference to follow throughout my animation process. These come in the forms of images ad videos. My team recorded each other acting out the animations and took photos of each other stood I their strong idle poses.

Here is an image of me in the idle pose I used for my idle animation
Below are the videos I recorded of me acting out the animation. From this I can study the smallest movements and take note of the timing involved.

I plan take reference of each animation as I go along and to redo these at a later date. This way I can keep on top of my working pipeline.

I also looked into references in games, with Uncharted being a big inspiration for our final showreel, I made sure to look more into that game and study the animations from various angles.
