New exercise...with a great mentor !

I had the great opportunity to attend Patrick Delage class at Georges Melies School. He's a french animator, who worked many years at Disney in movies like Tarzan, Kuzco, Hercules, The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame, etc..., and at Pixar, in Ratatouille and Wall-E. Georges Melies School is an amazing french animation school, which form many hungry student in animation and 3D in general. Patrick Delage there made a lecture for one week.
Thanks to a Franck PETITTA, the director of Georges Melies School, and a friend, Larson LIBERLIN, I had the opportunity to assist to Delage class.
My great thanks too to Robert BENNET, the famous american mime who learned from the "father of mime - Etienne DUCROUX". M.Bennet already shared his teachings to big studios like Disney Feature Film, Warner Bros Feature film, and schools like les Gobelins. I had the opportunity to assist to his class too at Georges Melies School. He thaught student how to feel weight and give life through mime. A huge class too. The most important thing I learned form him ? "How can you pretend sell weight in your animation if you never stand up and act your shot so you can really FEEL what you make to your rig ?"

I cannot tell how many priceless advice the two gave me during this week...no really I cannot say ! Every five minutes they makes you see animation in an all new way ! I cannot thank them enough for their teachings. Robert, Patrick, if you read those line, thank you again !

Anyway, at the end of the week, Patrick gave us (by us I mean, the Georges Melies students and I) a weight exercise. By a simple action, we have to sell weight properly. I chose a ball throw. Here's my reference.
