Tiny 2.0
After some feedback here from cgcoach and some other pages I have reanimated this one. Thanks all for the feedback :)
Now there are some envirument so that its easier to understaind whats going on. I have also reanimated the last jump towards to glowing ball, and the ball aswell. Have tried to fix snapping ik handles and geometry that goes through itself.
* * *
Another animation I soon will be finished with. First atemt to animate this rig "Tiny" witch I really liked to work with.
This will just be a short lite shot with a glowing fairy ( the sphere atm ) trying to enter a cave, and suddenly the big troll creature will jump down and block his way.
Would be awesome if I got some feedback from You with suggestions to make this animation better.
Thanks

Hey Mattias. This new version is brilliant. It's loads better than your previous wip. The animation of the glowing ball works well and the reaction of the beast is much more polished.
The only thing I'm unsure about is the "breaking of the fourth wall" (The fourth wall is the imaginary "wall" of the camera). Is this necessary and a part of the final story. Be careful with this as it can be gimmicky and take the person out of the scene.
Other than that. Great work!

This has some good animation already, but to be honest I was quite confused as to what was going on when I first watched it.

Strong Points:Initial drop to ground and hand slam are good.
Weak Points:The lunge at the end of shot is too forced. He seems to gain extra speed once he's in the air but not from his initial push. Either give him more of a push (by crouching down more and firing off), or just slowing down the roll and reducing the distance.
Keep his head aimed at the ball. It currently rolls around too much.

Recommendations:Change the animation of the ball. At the moment it changes directions before the troll even moves his hand to stop it. I would animate this so that just before it touches the trolls hand it sharply changes direction.

On the whole I think this is a great animation, very quick, nice and punchy and leaves you wanting more.
I think the only thing I wasn't too sure of was when Tiny lashed out with his first hand movement, it looks great and the start but the follow through loses weight and energy and it kind of sticks to the ground. I think if you speed up the action just as he slaps the ground and have his other arm come, maybe miss again and then it can follow onto the last part which I really like.
You could place a few loose rocks around where he hits the ground and have them jump, that would really add power to his hand and also increase the camera shake.
Great work, I have never tried to animate using that rig, what is it like to use? He looks awesome.

Strong Points:Setup, you instantly know something will happen involving the glowing orb. I really love the orb floating back into shot after Tiny lunges and misses - great sense of comedy timing.
Weak Points:The first grab.
Recommendations:Just tweak the initial lunge, other than that it's a great little animation - well done!
Nice work
