So, here's the blocking. I eventually picked the scared jump-and-turn, since it seemed the more interesting of the two options, and had a lot more opportunity for exaggerating spacing and timing. I know that we're meant to be focusing on body mechanics this term but honestly, if I had to animate a person turning around on the spot for 3 weeks, I think I'd probably go insane. Well, more insane at any rate.

Here's how it's looking so far:

This week I'll be getting a round of criticisms from my tutor and other students, and pushing the blocking further to create a "blocking-plus" as they call it. I'm guessing it's some sort of sponsorship deal with Pro Plus. Then next week, we finally hit good ol' splining and make it all look pretty!

Have nice week y'all, and don't eat all your chocolates at once!...
