Assignment 7: The Puppet

Oooooooooweeeeeee. This one was a doozy! Watching the lectures and understanding the concept of puppets, I really thought this was going to be an easy one! However, I've said time and time again that I just don't have the natural knack for animation. I think it's important to know the natural movement of the body and how each part of the body reacts to the other. For this piece, I took inspiration from Adventure Time and animated a Riccardio type character. A heart with limbs, I made "Riccardio" do a little performance, lifting his legs up and down, almost like a ballerina, finishing off with a surprise, tiny arms that were hidden all this time, lifting up from behind to make an appearance. Overall, I do think my piece was very stiff. I struggle to come up with other movements because I was still a little unsure on how to execute the puppet with more flow. Overall, not my best work, but I'm not extremely mad about it!
