Cape Ball: Follow Through and Overlapping action

This exercise looks at Follow Through and Overlapping action and even though I completed the task, it was by far the most difficult one so far. This was due to a fairly complex rig that took a while to get used to as well as a cape that needed to mimic the ball's movement flow. The animation overall works well as the rotations and anticipation are all present. An issue that is clear is that in the first few frames before the jump, the cape moves way more than it should do. This was rectified to an extent but still is an error that manipulation of the graph editor didn't entirely solve. I like the way that the board reverberates as the ball jumps upwards. The roll at the end seems to work well as well due to the slowing down of the motion. One other issue that is clear is that the ball pauses for a frame just after it leaves the board but this is only slightly noticeable compared to the rapidly moving cape that seems to jerk and cause an illusion that the arc is off centre.

All in all, this exercise has been a learning experience and these mistakes will be taken into account and learned from for future reference.    

THIS ANIMATION USES A RIG CREATED BY JASON THEAKER AND REFERENCES ANIMATIONS ALREADY CREATED BY HIM AS PART OF A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT OWN OR CLAIM TO OWN IT'S CHARACTERS
