week 3: Shift weight exercise 1

Task:Make spiderman shift weight from one foot to another


For this exercise, i have set keyframes at keyframe 1 and 24 for the legs, head and arms. As for the hips, i set the keyframes at keyframe 1, 12 and 24. At keyframe 1, the hip is rotated towards the right. At keyframe 12, the hip will move up slightly and at keyframe 24, the hips will be at the same position as keyframe 1 but rotated to the right as the weight is on the left leg.

Reflection:
When I was trying to do this exercise, it was difficult for me as I tried to make the spiderman stand on his right leg. It is also difficult for me as I have not really observe the movement of the hips when people put weight on one of their legs. It was easier after our lecturer showed us how he did it and asked us to stand up and stand on one leg and shift our weight to observe how our hips are rotated.

My second try at doing this has failed as i did something wrongly. As a result, the shoulders moved as well. My lecturer came and help me. After that, i went home and did one myself. The video below is done by him. I felt that he has over exaggerated the movement of the hips. In my opinion, he made it looks as if like spiderman is moving his butt.


For the one that i did, I felt that i did an OK job. For mine, i feel that the movement of the hips is just right.
