This study task was very helpful in both boosting my confidence levels with maya, by the fifth pose I'd sped up significantly which is reassuring when it comes down to animating. Before doing this task I'd used reference footage before but not to this level and the results here were surprisingly good. By copying real life gestures the emotional states of the character seem much more obvious to me. I had previously shrugged off referencing to this extent but this study task has made me realise how much better the results can be with them.
This exercise also helped me realise how effective lighting can be to highlight a characters emotion, will continue to think about this in future work.
