This week we learned about overlapping action. Its an interesting principle of animation that is so vital for making your animation loose and organic. The idea here is that when something moves not every part of that object moves at the same time. For example, when you swing your arm, you move your shoulder, then your elbow, then your wrist. Our assignment was to practice this idea by animating a pendulum moving across the screen. I had the hardest time getting the platform to move like it is now. I wrastled with the Graph Editor again for way too long. Anyway, got to get back to work.
