Michael Flatley

This guy is the Irish version of Estefan.

In this first video, I love the walk at the 4:13 mark.






Thanks to Megan Lloyd for pointing these out to me.

At the start of the film Estefan himself is going to have a lot of long, flowy actions. He will be very strong, very graceful, and have kind of prolonged movements.

BUT-- when he loses control (as he's trying to figure out how to do Clara's "hair"), he is going to move a lot more like this:

Very extreme poses, held for a long time, with VERY short in-betweens (like 2 frames. Really.).

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been of much help, this semester I have mostly GE classes and they are killing me.  But I'll start with this:

I like this one a lot because they have really strong and clear poses plus they are full body shots. And the music is live! Sweet!




This one's a trailer for a movie I'm trying to find and watch. Pay special attention at 0:38. When I saw that I thought it could be a great "signature" or funny move that Estefan could do.






I haven't been able to animate a walk cycle but I want to try and record myself and if I don't have time to animate it I'll just embarrass myself and post it here to get feedback.
