Body Mechanics Polish
In the body mechanics polish stage, I refined secondary motion such as arms, hands, head, and spine to enhance balance and weight without introducing acting.
Subtle offsets and follow-through were added to improve realism while preserving the original timing and mechanics.”
Body Mechanics Polish – Key Points
| Focus Area | Polish Notes |
|---|---|
| Arms & Hands | Add natural arm swing for balance; keep hands relaxed, not expressive. |
| Head | Slight follow-through from the torso; stable in the air, subtle response on landing. |
| Torso & Spine | Stretch on take-off, light compression and recovery on landing. |
| Overlap & Offset | Offset arms and head 1–3 frames behind the root. |
| Spacing | Maintain strong take-off, soft peak, and weighted landing timing. |
| Cleanup | Remove unnecessary keys and eliminate jitter or noise. |
