Here is the blocking and blocking plus version of my high bar exercise animation.
This assignment had me learn a lot of new things that I'll be explaining in my next post.
(if i can give you a critique) There are some little poses and momentum details to fix in your animation...But the two visible thing, in my opinion, are when he "stay in the air" at second 3 and 6...He should continu to move, because now hes staying just a little to long in the air with no acumulate momentum, so that he seem to defy Gravity during a brief moment ;p
That said...Are you always going "spline" in the Blocking + Stage ? Like the Blocking + Stage is for added details and going spline ?
Hey Francis, thanks a lot for the awesome comment and the reference link, they'll help a lot. You're right , there are a few inconsistencies in my work right now and I'll do my best to correct them.
About the "blocking plus" stage, yes, I usually go into spline mode, but I know a lot of animators who prefer staying in stepped mode until the very last moment. I move to spline right after the first blocking because I noticed that in stepped your work can look good but as soon as you switch it doesn't work anymore, especially in the timing. A quick personal tip, even in the blocking in stepped, I usually switch back and forth into splines to keep track on my timing and the overall animation, which is more accurate that way. That's it, hope this helps.

Hey, not bad, not bad !
I send you a little compilation of Pole reference that i had use for poles animation that i needed to do for our game at Ubisoft.

There is interesting stuff in there.
