Pose to Pose Animation

This was an exercise to see if we can animate a pendulum swinging using a technique called Pose to Pose, in which you draw keyframes that would show a particular movement has been made, and then add frames in between those key frames that generate the illusion of the movement actually being made. When drawing the in-betweens, they also had to show easing in and easing out to create the feeling of a swinging motion.

This was fairly easy to make with a light box, and the technique made things a lot quicker too. I can see myself in the future animating a basic walk-cycle using this exact method, moving the arms in a similar manner to the pendulum and creating extremes for the legs.
