Mike Walling walkthrough

Jason Ryan just announced a very cool body mechanics walkthrough by Dreamworks/ex Blue Sky animator/Animation Mentor animator Mike Walling.

Even if I have enough experience with body mechanics, at $29.99, I couldn’t resist and bought it immediately. I just wanted to hear Mike’s approach to that kind of shot and confront it with my own workflow.


The video is also featuring Victor Vinyals and Oli Josman latest rig “Skyscraper” a very good looking heroic rig I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on, it is so appealing! I might actually join Ianimate next term and eventually get that rig.

Here are the links to Jason Ryan website and the direct link to the store

Reading Victor’s blog I realised that he might give away his old Businessman rig very soon!

    I’m also very tempted by those walkthrough videos – can you tell me how long each one is please?
    Thanks!

    they are about 1h long each Sarah, actually the Spline polish video is 1h50 :-)

    my pleasure Manfred, it is quite lucky that some feature animators can show us how they work

    Amazing value at only £20 or so.Really one of my best investments in my animation education.

    Without sounding like an advert I think everyone interested in improving there animation should buy it.

    I’m only just starting to get decent at animating but I would like to hear what someone who has a good skill set at animating thought of the videos?

    I loved them. Mike is going into a lot of detail and the extra comments and anecdotes he adds are gold.
