SnowBoarder

Gone through making the idea of an action animation atm(at-the-moment). Been looking at a lot of snowboarding movies on youtube to get ideas. i sketched this quickly on my lunch break at work. its not amazing, but its an idea. :)

For this i would have to use a lot of squash and stretch in the movements. For instance, before a jump i would want the figure to go low down for speed, then after the jump i would need him to move from this small shape to a larger one. I will also use a Slow In and Out as i would want to slow down the action, like a 360 in the air. These are done at very high speeds so for the audiance to take it in, it works better if they work fast into the 360, slow during, and a fast land.
When planning out this idea, i think it would be best to stage them. write down a list of actions (moves) i want teh figure to do, then time them out in my head first.
