Week 4

Exercise 1

i) The sequence of the leg movements when BigDog fell over is BR and FL, followed by BL and FR. It repeat continuously until the BigDog find his balance.

ii) As the BigDog is falling toward the left hand side so, BR and FL will be the first leg movements in order to support the weight of BigDog while he is trying to find his balance.

Exercise 2

i)

ii) This exercise is much easier compared to the Spiderman exercise as less details are needed. In the Spiderman, we have to take note on details such as the muscle movement, tension and many more. In this exercise, I hide the legs first and set the keyframes for the body first. It is way easier to do it in this way, then we will know how the legs should be position.

For the legs we just have to make it accordingly to the sequence: BR and FL, followed by BL and FR. Most importantly is the body, for the first keyframe - rotate down towards the right hand side, at the second keyframe - further down, third keyframe - rotate up toward the right, fourth keyframe - rotate down and the last keyframe rotate to the left.

Overall, this exercise is simple and interesting.
