This animation is the first part of an ongoing gymnastics animation project. The Gymnast depicted here is Ksenia Afanasyeva, known for her artistic body language and complex choreographies, which are excellent for stylizing the movement and incorporating different effects.
Practices
Before starting my animation, I used footage from my gymnastics class to practice moves that are common in gymnastics floor routines. Then, I drew some keyframes of different tumbling skills. It helped me understand interesting techniques gymnasts do that people couldn’t see at full speed.
