Ok this shot completely sucks at the moment. The animation is bad and it leaves most people confused at what just happened because of it. This was always going to be a difficult one as it relied on good animation to work which I didn’t have time to do and effectively this is a placeholder. What needs to be fixed:
- add more about-to-pounce posing to the shot just before where the monster is going to pounce
- zoom the camera quickly at the start to show the pounce
- animate each branch crashing and bouncing off the tree
- add the treant arm
I didn’t have the treant arm in there as I have issues linking it once again and didn’t have time to make a work around.
