This part of the brief, instructed me to film a reference film of an action that I would like to animate and then proceed to animate this action.
The Action
I had 2 ideas that I would have liked to animate, one was a basketball player taking a shot (inspiration was taken from Lebron James, a professional NBA player). The way Lebron James hops backwards from the shot is interesting.
The other action was a boxer with a very well known style, Cassius Clay. I like the way he prances and speeds around the ring. The rhythm and footwork is fascinating. So I attempted to re-enact it in my reference footage.
