K.I.S.S
Week 3 involved refining the shot based on feedback, with key notes focusing on changing the camera angle to a 3/4 view and shortening the action by removing a side flip. These adjustments were aimed at improving clarity and pacing while keeping the viewer focused on the core motion.
Switching to a 3/4 angle allowed for a better view of the character’s body mechanics, revealing the rotation in the movement more effectively than a flat front shot. It also helped maintain spatial awareness, giving the animation a stronger visual impact.
Removing the side flip from week 2 helped streamline the sequence, cutting out unnecessary complexity that detracted from the key action. This decision emphasised the importance of movement, choosing actions that serve the shot’s purpose rather than overloading it. The result was a cleaner, more readable scene that stayed grounded in strong body mechanics.
