Jumping The Gap

www.animatorisland.com/51-grea… Level 2 still.
A guy jumping over a gap.  I did about three of these, in different ways (that I'll throw into scraps so you guys can see) but I was getting too complex or too loose and what I really needed to simplify what I was trying to do and make the simplest story possible.  Man jumps over puddle.

I'll edit this deviation with links to the rougher keys and timing I did, as I was doing it, I was like, "this might be interesting to someone"

Attempts I didn't care for as much (or at all)

Too complex for what the exercise was asking for, and too sloppy even for me.

Also sloppy, but it was going to be spiderman.  I didn't like the motion or have enough definition in my cleaning phase to actually clean the damn thing, so I got it out of me and moved on to the animation above.

ALMOST there, it just needed a bit more intent and some poses and arcs needed to be fleshed out different from the start.  But I was happy with this as a warm up.
