Oswalds "Lucky" Dance

This is the 2nd trial of this project. This was the first time I animated a full 3D character. I have previously animated just a simple arm swing, but not the whole body.

The first time threw, I had lots of trouble with the left foot. I couldn't get it to hold. I also did not have an anticipation, ease-ins, or ease-outs. There was a lot I needed to fix, so I completely restarted the project from scratch and I think it looks 100% better this time around.

Inspirational 3D animation

This is the video that I chose as my inspirational animation. I found it on You Tube, it is not my original work.

1. Which principles of animation are seen in this animation? How has the animator integrated the principles of animation?

- I see anticipation in this video. I see it when the chef is on his toes and he moves to the left. I also see a lot of ease-ins and ease outs with his arm/hands, legs/feet and his hat.
