Bugs Bunny skip revisited.

I really wanted to post some more detail on this skip. I will be posting more Looney Toons and any other animation examples that are worth checking out. Notice the curve on the hand flick motion. 

 This bit really gives the 'pop'

I like the way the ears are kept subtle. You could easily have the ears flopping about in this type of action but having just a small amount trailing adds that slight rigidity that hares ears have.

 Love the way the arm overlaps and arcs as it falls

More to come...

I haven't tried animating a skip yet but i imagine it would be very difficult. I was watching 'Bugs Bunny - Easter Yeggs' and saw this fantastic skip! my favourate part about it is the hand movements.

I'm not entirely sure who animated it but maybe it was Charles McKimson?
