Realism impresses me but I prefer hyper realism, where form light design and narrative are twisted but remain relatable.

Frogman - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Frogman Rig.
The frogman sits and crouches slightly anticipating the jump. He then leaps up and over with the head leading and legs following behind. With his arms outstretched he lands, hands first, followed by the body, and lastly the legs smack down into place. Upon landing the body recoils and settles into place.
