Part 2: Lift Push Pull

 The next part of the brief was to animate a short piece of animation for Lifting, pushing and pulling a heavy object. With the help from my classmates Stuart and Demitris, we shot some reference photos of each of the actions being performed. These were then used by myself to animate the movements.

I am fairly pleased with the results of these three tests. Unfortunately I had to redo the Pushing Animation from scratch using a different reference as the previous one did not translate into animation too well, but the newer version is a vast improvement.

I feel that I learned a lot from these exercises as they helped me to understand movement and also when to over-exaggerate movements in 2d animation.
