For my assignment this month, I have chosen to do an "attack and knock back" animation scene. The reference is obtained from a UFC fight from December 2018 involving Max Holloway and Brian Ortega. While the reference does have several camera angles, it was recommended to stick to one camera angle if possible for the assignment. The ending also has been adjusted from the real fight as I needed a character to fall down.
This is the link to my reference video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBU4Hxqe8vY
Clip is from 23:26-23:34.
Week 1 Block-In completed. Sticking to one camera angle for now, but will play with this a lot throughout the next week.

By far the most challenging animation to date. Getting the timing right and speed of the fighters was the trickiest part. Looking forward to revisiting this soon to fix the end of the animation.
