Now that you know some basic principles of animation and can create simple character rigs and keyframes, let's see what you got! Pick 2-3 of your favorite principles of animation and create a short clip showing them in action. You can choose to animate elements from your Culminating Task project (even if they're not finished yet), or create a simple scene from scratch just to practice your cartoon chops. Whether you choose to animate a simple ball or an entire character, make sure your motion demonstrates an understanding of the principles of animation from this module.
Make sure you've rendered your video as an .mp4 file. Once you've finished, complete the following worksheet to explain which principles of animation you used, and why.
When you're done, upload both your video and the worksheet to the student dropbox. Your work will be graded using the following rubric.
