Here’s my first blocking and timing pass. Working hard to keep similar poses feeling fresh, and the pleading and vain note of the VO carried throughout. Shot some video reference and thumbnailed out a plan.
A big help this time around was the creation of two small MELscripts which automatically select all the controllers of the character, and change them to either stepped or linear interpolation. This lets me quickly work on timing at the same time as blocking, quickly letting me know if I need some more breakdowns or poses.
