Week 3 and a second assignment done. Planning was the key goal in doing this assignment.

For Stu, the Pose was to be excited, and my main goal was to avoid the stereo typical jump in the air with arms out, but that turned out to be much much harder than I planned. A lot of what shows excitement is either the release of energy or the holding back of a lot of energy, but without facial controls or the ability to raise the shoulders, I found most of my poses simply didn’t convey what they were intended to so I had to scrap most of them. I crunched Sunday morning, to do some more obvious excitement poses like this one.

But I ended up going back to one of my first ones because I felt it did still convey excitement, while also telling a bit of a story, which I think was something I liked about last weeks pose. I think form now on my goal will to be not just to meet the pose but really try to tell a story with each.
