Here is the third and last assignment for class 2. I've had a blast and I'd like to thank Chad Stewart who has been an amazing mentor. For the last assignment, I chose to animate Carlton's dance from "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (the original can be seen in the post below) and you can see the final animation here:

We have now started class 3 which goes deeper into Body Mechanics. I have a new mentor, Steve Cunningham (Dreamworks), and he seems awesome as well. For my first assignment, I will animate a waiter who gets scared by a mouse/rat and jumps up onto a chair. Check back in 3-4 weeks for the result

I have just finished and turned in my second assignment for Class 2. As mentioned previously, I chose to animate a person struggling against a windstorm and you can see the finished result below:

For my next assignment, I have chosen to do a dance move. I have picked a funny dance move performed by "Carlton" in "Fresh Prince". You can see the dance here (from 0:37 - 0:46):

I've just finalized by first assignment for Class 2 ("Psychology of Body Mechanics"). This time we got to select an assignment from a pick list and we got to work on the shot for 3 weeks. I chose to animate a heel click and you can see the result below:

I've also planned out my next assignment which is going to be a person walking in a heavy windstorm and losing a few steps. We're using a new rig for the animation this time, "Stewie", who comes equipped with legs and head (but no arms).
