"Overall, I enjoyed this first session of Mystery Box animation! It was a lot easier and much more interesting to figure out how character rigs work than I initially thought! I don't know exactly what I was expecting, since the only time I've seen CG character animation behind the scenes was from old Toy Story featurettes, but given they're from 1995 and it's been nearly 25 years since then, the techniques are probably easier than back then. Looking forward to more!"

SUMMARY
This week was the week of our hand-in, so there wasn't much scheduled in. However, what we did for the Mystery Box was really interesting! It was my first time using an animated rig, and it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be! Like I said in my original post, moving the character around is a lot easier and user-friendly than I expected, and I'm sure it's going to make animating the rig much more pleasant than I initially expected it to be! I just have to make sure I use what I learnt in last week's performance workshop to really push the rig further than normal, so I can get a more appealing and exaggerated performance.
