Here's my first assignment for Class 3, "Advanced Body Mechanics". My mentor for this class is Steve Cunningham at DreamWorks animation and he's awesome. In this class, the focus is once again on body mechanics, so we're trying to animate advanced body actions (walks/runs/change of direction/jumps/falls/reaching/throwing/pushing or pulling/from sitting to standing position etc.). In this first shot, I animated a waiter that gets scared by a mouse and runs and jumps up onto a chair.
