Maui (Body Dynamics)

With Master Class 2 coming up, I wanted to share a little more on this preproduction Maui test I animated. An example of "Body Dynamics" which I'll go in depth on in class. I say it all the time, but Moana was my favorite show to work on. Delightful characters, wonderful crew, sweet memories ..just the best.

Maui always makes me smile 😅 I bet animators require loads of patience hearing the same audio again and again. It's already stuck in my head 😂

The initial keyposing for timing Maoi's placement at the geysers feels like a shitpost. And I love seeing how basic it starts in the timing/keying stage
