Popping hit

Objective

Develop hits, animation/isolation concepts, waves and controlled textures.

How To Do It

Control contraction/release rather than simply moving sharply; isolate the intended body area.

Common Errors

Large movement replaces contraction; tension is excessive; isolation is unclear.

If It's Too Hard

Practice small contractions with no travel before adding animation.

If It's Too Easy

Add waves, animation, tutting, texture changes and musical dialogue.

How You'll Know You've Got It

Demonstrate controlled hit/texture with no unnecessary body tension.
