Jungle Jumps - Blocking

This was an assignment I started on my own and stopped it midway through blocking. I really got all inspired after watching Glen Keane animated Tarzan. I'm not sure if I should continue with it or not, as it might look like I'm trying to copy. Still debating.

I planned it to be a 20 sec clip. Blocked only 6 seconds so far.

it has so far about 12 poses. only the tangents are changed to "flat" at some places and spline at some.

i'll show this to jean-denis haas, and see if i can do this as a class assignment. i'm taking his class this semester. so lets see what he thinks about it.

Hang time is lil too acc, to my taste.
and copywork .Oh....... :) :)
Just today morning we guys were talking abt this.
so lpz allow me the few line I remember.

Immitation + Innovation = Creation

TO break the rule first we should know the Rules.

Nothing wrong in copying until you learning and not copying blindly.

its all I can say.......
