Animating

 

Animation progress

Video 1: a quadruped practice walk cycle.

Video 2: Mother fox breathing, starting point of scene 1 .

Video 3: combination of M.Fox breathing and the cub popping out from M.fox’s tail.

Video 4: Layout and general idea for cub rolling out and falling to the ground, very rough.

Video 5: Rolling animation is cleaned up (both the actual images and intersecting lines) but the image is too close to the bottom of the screen cutting of the rest of the action.

Video 6: Rolling animation is further polished and the subject is moved back to give more room. end of animation is changed from the cub going ‘splat’ then standing up to the cub falling and finishing the roll on a sit.

Video 7: finished the roll animation and added some secondary actions (blink and ear flop) to create a more lively creature, to avoid mirroring I had the paws land at different times, this also made the action more lifelike and less robotic.

Video 8: Animation remains the same but a background is add (the foxes den).
