Some weight

A video I am including as research for weight is for the game ‘Dragon Age: Inquisition’ showreel. From the giant jumping to the dragon hopping it is a great example of weight and how its used to show the size of the creature. 1.15 in the video too has a great technique to show how heavy the rig/animation can be.

 

I would like to experiment more with weight and to best use it, but I made a few attempts at conveying it.

Trying a simple hop and landing, its not very smooth or advanced and in the future would like to trying bigger jumps and more extreme weight in animation.

Also playing about with body mechanic’s, a simple turning around and acknowledging that might actually be kept as a longer animation after stress has died down.
