Fundamentals of Animation: Project 3

For project 3 our assignment was to animate the top half of a human pushing a box off of a cliff. We started by assessing one of the thumbnails our teacher provided for us. I chose the following thumbnail that my teacher created:

We received multiple files with a character and box in it. I chose the standard guy with the purple cliff, depicted in the picture below:

We then preceded to follow the thumbnails and put in the key poses and breakdowns. We then used the graph editor to create a smoother animation. This is my finished result:

From this project I learned how to manipulate a upper body rig. I practiced using the graph editor and using proper timing to show weight. In class we learned how to manipulate the rig and graph editor. I learned how to do the timing for my specific project on my own. Overall this was an interesting project to work on and I learned a lot from it.
