Studio Brief 4 - Apply- References

Apply- Movement Reference

To make my animation more realistic and easier for me to produce i have looked at the way couples run towards each other in the stereotypical cheesy fashion because that is how the beginning of mine starts because you can instantly tell its love. I chose to find these clips because when i animate them they wont be as cheesy because my characters will try to have such fluid motions and they will be designed well. Slow Motion couple -Here is a link to one i have been looking at as it is slow so i can see all of the movements from each slide if it were an animation.

I have also found another similar one, Couples running to each other, This is so i can compare the two and whichever makes the animation work best, i can use more. Both are good as one spins slightly and one is lifted so i can look at both and see which i prefer.

This song of Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' was perfect to look at dancing and body movements so i could see how the couple could approach each other and how they can spin into the spiral that will turn and stretch them into water.

This is another reference by Eadweard Muybridge who studied cycles of movement as he shows people running and walking in images so i could draw the running knowing the positions are all correct and in the right place.

This type of referencing is overall very useful to me personally as it helps me see just how to draw certain things and how to plan each step and what will come up next.
