Reverse Video Reference


       Hi ya’ll what’s up! So, our assignment was to reproduce/act out a character from each of the different animated clips (4 clips). This was actually way more difficult than I expected! Ironically, I have years of experience in Hip Hop dancing and choreography, yet still found this assignment a bit frustrating, difficult, fun and definitely challenging. I think it is way different and more difficult to imitate/act out a character walk using video reference instead of following in-person step-by-step choreography like I’m used to. Also, my wifi at home was down, so I had to use my phone’s small screen to look at these videos, and I couldn’t go frame by frame to study the movements and nuances too carefully, So I tried my best given the circumstances. It was fun to see all the bloopers and cursing from all of the “trial and error” videos. It was also weird to change it up. We, animators, are used to recording our reference and then animating it, but in this case it was the complete opposite, therefore it was more challenging for the brain and body. Definitely an experience!
