Blocking out my scene



So at the minute I’m blocking out my scene. Firstly I got the timing right,  but I’ve also been thinking planning how to get the balance right between human and animal movements, as well as strong key poses and camera angles.

I haven’t got that many of the poses in yet, but I’m trying to imitate a squirrel as closely as possible, within the confines of the rig. For example the way its body seems to squash and stretch whilst running. I don’t want to stretch my rig too much, in case it deformes weirdly.



Another problem I had was, that creating that nice back arch, he has when on all fours, causes a weird fold on his belly. I think I can get away with it while hes running, but definitely not when he’s standing.
