Maya is very familiar territory for me having used it a lot for many things during my BA projects. Knowing the software well meant that I could go straight in and focus on the movement of ‘Bonky’, getting the task done quickly. It was fun to be able to apply what I have learnt so far on the course to this exercise, like timing and squash and stretch.
I am very happy with the result of the workshop, I think I was able to make a nice fluid movement with lots of energy by animating follow through action on the head and eyes. This task helped me to understand how much difference subtle key frames can make.
