For this weeks task we were supposed to animate a character throwing a slightly heavy object. I went for a sack-like object. I need to work on making sure that the position of my character on the page is consistant, and I also learnt about the significance of anticipation and how the power of the throw is generated by the body shifting backwards and not to draw to many frames for the throw itself. Once again issues with timing have crept in, but next time I will plan out the key positions and film myself doing the action in order to reduce this. All in all I am pleased with thuis, and hopefully will take away some useful tidbits of knowledge from this exercise.
