When it comes to weight shifts, it’s extremely important to be conscious of how the body’s weight is shifting. In particular, carefully considering the center of gravity when creating movements is a key point in creating natural and convincing animation.
At first glance, the movements may seem simple, but in reality there are many things to pay attention to. For example, the timing of when the hips move, how much the knees bend, and how long the movement takes can greatly change the impression of the character’s weight and personality.
Furthermore, being aware of the relationship between the foot on which the weight is placed and the foot on which it is released will increase the sense of footwork on the ground and the convincing balance. By carefully combining these elements, you can express realistic and lively movements rather than just simple movements.
