In-depth Look at Hips
In this lecture, Bobby takes a closer look (through real life references) at hips & how they move.
When we watch beginner animators reels we'll notice that the hips is often ignored!!
Well.. actually everything starts & drives from the hips, and to start understanding how hips moves you'll need to analyze
live footage & see how the weight is distributed between the hips and legs.
One thing to keep in mind is that the center of gravity is always above the point of suspension.
In a well balanced character pose; you should be able to draw a straight vertical line between the base of the neck and
the supporting foot on the ground.
Another thing is that the hips (in most cases) counter rotate the shoulders, this will make the pose rather appealing.
And like we always say, once we understand the principles of hips rotation, we can exaggerate it to serve the purpose of
that shot.
