Class 3 - Week 6 ( Advance Overlapping Action )

 This Weeks Lecture Was About Advance Overlapping Action and Anticipation by Bobby beck and Shawn Kelly.. They Talked to us about Overlapping and Anticipation. And Also gave us a Quick Review of what they Talked about Overlapping and Anticipation in the Previous Lecture.  

            They Talked to us about how Overlapping is Based on  Lead and Follow Concept and and Also showed Us some Video Reference explaining  How overlapping action were happening in the Human Body and other objects and animation. When We create our Breakdown or even when we are Planning Our Shot we should not Only Remember to Have nice arc in our Motion but to get some Nice overlapping action in those Breakdown.  With Out Overlapping Aciton your Shot with  Still Look a bit Weird even if You have a Great Arc in it..  There Was an Example my Mentor Showed us explaining this..

            We should also Always Make sure to have some Reversals In our Poses. Reversals Help in making out Shot Look Better. Reversal Help us Give contrast in the Shape in our Shot.  We should Not Just Copy from our Reference we can look at our References  and decide and Push the poses where ever we can.  We should Always know What leading What because that is going to Effect the How the Body part overlap.

            Anticipation is Something which is also Very Imp . With Out anticipation your Shot Will look a weird.  The Main reason to use anticipation is that so that we can lead our audience Eyes  and Make them ready For whats Going to Happen Next. Without Anitipation your Might not see What Happened in your Shot Specially If It’s a Sudden and Fast Movement and get Confused. We Can Sell a Really Fast Motion With a Proper Anticipation Placed Before it.  We Should Always Remember where is the Energy Coming from.
Anticipation Doesn’t Always have to be Big and Huge, The mass is evenly distributed around the Fulcrum ( or what we call center-line of gravity ). `We Should Always try not to  always choose a cliche anticipation, try experimenting with something new.
