Here we worked with ball and socket puppets, which I found to be exteremly hard to animate with. They refused to stay in place, and the pins we put to keep them in place felt like they were pointless. Apart from the fingers that seemed to be made with wire the rest just wanted to do it's own thing. I animated the character on the right, I feel like Ali's character on the left has a very human walk about it which I really think works, where as mine has a robot feel, I did this because I felt like it didn't have a personality that was visible. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, I know I need to work on getting a nice walk cycle down.
We next had a play with the wire puppets which were a breath of fresh air from the previous ball and socket puppets. They actually stayed in the positions we wanted the to. The pins also helped to keep them in place, we just made up a narrative as we went along with these two. But essentially we're both sitting down and the mouse puppet decides to take the yellow puppet away, but he is unsuccessful when he is kicked to the floor in a get away. I animated the one on the left, and again I feel like I need improve the way I animate in terms of not moving it so erratically, I feel like my movements aren't as successful as Ali with making him looked scared. The next time I would animate in smaller movements.
Here we just had some free time so we decided to make our characters twerk (definition: to dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving hip movements and a low, squatting dance.)
