Belated post on the lift excercise from a couple of weeks ago.
Here is said lift.
The idea behind it is that the character is not expecting the object to be heavy, hence the lack of anticipation towards the beginning, although i feel that a little anticipation would have been a sensible choice, just to make it more believable. The lift loses the sense of weight and timing when the object is lifted to the characters chest. The object seems suddenly to change in weight, becoming much lighter, only to become unsteady and heavy again. I believe that had I pulled the pose into more anticipation prior to the big heave up to the chest, it would be more convincing. I like the drop and the jump/fall, i feel that the timing works well and the movement is fluid and plausible.
