In this week I began recording video reference, though I have done this for many other animations it seemed to be a bit of a challenge, mainly because certain subtleties in human movement doesn't always translate to film. Upon recording my first reference video, I thought that acting out my storyboard shot for shot would be the best idea, as that is what I want my animation to look like.
It was only after feedback, that I realised over acting a sequence can reduce its usefulness as reference, because it is in the animating that you exaggerate the action, timing and secondary action. From there I began reshooting, focusing purely on the movement not the acting, in order to have good referencing material to animate from.
