Acting and Animation 1

In this task, I had to complete animation using this 'Moom' to Step on the stones discreetly walking towards his goal which is to push the red button. Focusing on his acting; Nervously, looking back, being off-balance, his arrival and finally pushing the button.

I started off doing breakdowns for the animation to show the 'Moom's' emotional expression and action. As this is acting I have to focus on the motion to bring out the character and make the viewers/ audience understand the characters state of mind.

Continuing I added breakdowns (in-betweens) to make the animation/ movement smoother or adding in more time to the movement. Overall I think this went well as I enjoyed doing it mostly when I timed myself doing the poses. It was hard at first since the 'FK' (Forward Kinematic) were the only ones visible, meaning I had to rotate a lot and understand which controls did what. However, I got used to it and think it made posing may-be easier. At the end I felt satisfied since I did this all in one day.
