Temp Animation (Blocking Plus)

Inbetween Blocking, where you can show your animation to an audience, and they know exactly whats going on. But, its not Final. This is where you want to fine tune and add in detail of foot placements.

• Placing additional foot poses 2 frames before and after foot contact / foot lift off.
• Later you can adjust the timing of the in between poses.
• In between Feet 
• 2 frames before contact pose (barely touching)
• This is where the toes are just touching the ground.
• Create a nice contrast between before floor and flat on floor.
• Example - touching with the toes then rolling onto flat foot. 
• 2 frames after contact pose (weight smash)
• This is where you want the foot to have it take on weight.
• Have the foot go into the ground, then later you will counter it with the toes.
• This gives an illusion of wight
• Create a lift off pose if you have not already done so, (little weight)
• Angle the the foot 45 degrees down and have the toes clip through the ground. The will fix this issue during toe pass.
• The heal will be reversed, going forward.
• 2 frames before lift off (free off weight)
•  The foot will be flat on the ground, and weight will be off of that foot. So do not need to have in in the ground.
• The heal will be back in an angle then flip forward reverse during lift off 
• 2 frames after lift off (no weight)
• The foot is continuing to rotate inward.
• The claw will be the pivot point of the roll off.
•  Building it in the clavicles
• 2 frames before contact pose
• clavicle is just reaching forward
• 2 frames after contact
• the clavicle will start to move up while the chest is moving down.
•  2 frames before lift off
• the clavicle goes back down
•  
•  Back feet follow the same principles, but is also easier then the front feet. Don't have to do a complicated roll off, like the front feet.
• Set keys 2 frames before planted and after
• So 2 frames after plant, the heal continues to go down.
• The have the foot go into the ground like the front feet.
• Refineing the Pelvis, Chest and Head.
