Glad to hear the followup is a great movie as well. Added it to my to watch list, regretfully it does not seem to be on Netflix. 😐

Thank you for your observations. I am not sure if the arcs are “too far” (if I interpret that correctly) but perhaps they are too slow in the vertical as John pointed out and maybe that is what is making them feel of. They do feel weird I agree. Also feel you on the bounce height. Its like its a different ball compared to the somewhat muted bounce from the first platform to the second. It should probably be toned down a little.

Because for now I think its better to keep the momentum going and continue learning stuff.

You are so right. Exercises are to get better, not to have them done perfectly. I am certain you are aware of the quantity vs quality experiment with pottery? Appearantly it’s from a book called Art and Fear, here is the relevant excerpt.

Don’t feel too bad about the planning. Its important to plan and set goals since it still made you attack this exercise vigorously. As long as you don’t start to feel dejected because of not making the “deadline” it is serving its purpose perfectly well. 🙂 No harm in finding out an exercise is a little harder than expected, you are still learning!

As far as I am concerned we are still both trying to finish animation bootcamp in 2018, one day more or less won’t make much of a difference. 🙂

I look forward to the office drink, will most certainly have fun, thanks! <3
