Getting into the Swing....

Recently, I've been focussing much of my attention on developing my understanding of various methods of simulation and as such it's been a good while since I did any actual animation.... I thought I'd spend this morning refreshing my skills.

I used the key poses from a Digital Tutors guide as a time saving device as this was a technical exercise  to ensure my understanding of process within Maya and of keyframe timing, not a test of my pre-production and observation skills.

I"m pretty pleased with the result considering the limited time that I gave myself to complete the exercise and I will certainly be making more stuff move in future as I had almost forgotten how enjoyable and rewarding the process can be.
