I really enjoyed animating this scene because of the run cycle and the cape, but I found the roll quite hard to do. I think the fall is okay but the way it transforms into the roll is a bit stiff. In hindsight, I should have looked at cartoons to see how they show a roll with minimal detail, as I think this animation is a bit too literal.
I also think the roll gets fast too suddenly and there needs to be more of an ease out.
I also animated the final travel sequence scene this week:
I think this was very successful, and I managed to capture Beram's tiredness with his sluggish footsteps and the uneven timings between them. I could add more movement in his body though to improve it.
Finally, I animated the scene where Beram looks up at the hill and tree after the travel sequence, as well as the scene where he falls to his knees and raises his arms in joy (and then lowers them after a bit in sadness). For that scene, I left quite a lot of space between each of the moevements, which would allow me to tweak the pause timings in after effects depending on the background animation.
