Hello jose

Not a bad start, but it is a bit stiff, I suggest you put a bit of anticipation and some arc motion into it.

Here is a head turn I made a bit ago that uses both

Head turn 440 kb

Or this one

Homer.mov 565 kb

oh, absolutly... the neet thing about it is the inbetween "swoosh", as you can see in the file...

i think your homer head turn would look perfect if you add that effect...

True, a bit of motion blur would help! :)

Nice use of the swoosh technique. :D I keep seeing that technique in the Animator's Survival Kit. It's cool to actually see it in action. Makes for a nice punchy movement.

thanks for the coments, i snached the technique form an animation webinar, this is the link http://www.animationmentor.com/webinar/ ... binar.html, and its not "swoosh" efect... its "smear"... and as Eric Goldberg says ther, you really have to know when you can use it, you gotta be really smart about it cus you can end up with an unwanted effect in thw whole animation, he puts "Jonny Bravo" from cartoon network as an example of overused smear effect

Oops! I didn't realize that this was called smear. ;D Thanks for clarifying that. The Williams book also calls this technique "long-headed inbetweens" or elongated inbetweens. Earlier today I came across this example that uses a ton of smear: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2009/07/ ... poses.html Interesting stuff!

Thanks for sharing that Eric Goldberg interview link. Just watched part one and looking forward to watching the rest!
