Visual Language- Study Task 5-Life drawing/ the human form in an animation context- Glen Keane

Life Drawing & The Human Form: 

Glen Keane

Glen Keane is amazing at capturing motion and the real fluidity that comes with dance. In this video it just shows how he studied dancers and how they move so that when he animated this video, they showed exactly what went into each movement and stance he had the characters take.

In his final animation, the way he has drawn the characters, is so elegant and soft, so that the fluid lines can really be seen and the viewers can see how soft the dancers would have been in how they stand, move and walk. This all adds to his final piece because he studied them so closely, it comes across and can be seen in the animated character.

After doing our task, i really want to do more with what i have learnt, as i know the basics of how peoples form moves and contracts, but i would love to show an animated version of someone dancing like Glen Keane. I will defiantly do this in the future because, i only had 10 seconds per sketch. So i think it would be interesting what could be created if i spent more time studying the motions like he has in the video above.
