Stick figure animation

In this animation practice, I challenged myself by animating a punch animation involving two characters. Throughout the process, I encountered several challenges. Firstly, animating two characters simultaneously proved to be more complex than anticipated. Secondly, accurately capturing the impact and follow-through animations of the punch posed additional difficulties. To tackle these challenges, I employed a combination of layered animation and straight-ahead animation techniques.

What I learned:

Complexities involved in animating interactions between multiple characters.
Techniques for managing character interactions and maintaining continuity.
Improved understanding of timing and spacing in impact animations.
Challenges in achieving fluidity and realism in punch animations.
Skills in integrating layered and straight-ahead animation approaches.

Problems Encountered:

Difficulty in synchronizing movements between two characters.
Challenges in depicting the physical impact and follow-through of the punch.
Complexity in managing layered animation sequences.

This practice has deepened my appreciation for the intricacies of character animation and the importance of meticulous planning and execution. Moving forward, I aim to refine my skills in character interaction and continue exploring effective animation techniques.
