This week’s assignment is all about Tailor. w00t! My first character! We have to animted him jumping at least three times with [post=56 text="Squash and Stretch"] and [post=62 text="Overlapping Action"] with the tail.
Still not sure what I’m going to do. Stay tuned.
*edit* — Here’s the plan:

So, here’s my obstacle course first attempt. If you read this blog, please leave a comment. Let me know what you think. I don’t care if you don’t know anything about animation – comment on it!
The hardest part about it was bouncing on multiple levels. You can’t just follow the formula of: 5 frames up, 5 frames down, next bounce is 4 frames up, 4 frames down, etc.. It’s all mixed up when you have a long fall and a short reach.
I definitely gave myself a challenge by trying to use the hinged ramp in the middle to trick the ball’s trajectory. It’s all good though. I’m learning!
