R.E.S.P.E.C.T!

Ok! Finally I’m up to my Rap and Clap!

I chose the song “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, which was a good choice because I found soo many references for it!

I also found a whole bunch of other refrences-

Over all, I found this one allot harder than I thought I would, compared to the first lip sync.

But again I built my animation up in layers, starting with the jaw movements, then lips.

Next I blocked out my key poses. This was the part I found really hard, choreography clearly isn’t my strong suit! But I did my best to compensate with strong key poses.

These are just some attempts at getting my opening key pose to look its best

I'm also quite pleased with my final pose.
