Obstacle Course

Now things are starting to get interesting. We were provided with an obstacle course and a ball that has a "Squash and Stretch" tool on it. Squash and Stretch is one of the most basic and important concepts in animation. It happens everywhere, only it's usually too fast for the naked eye. Bobby Beck said in the last video assignment I watched, that "Squash and Stretch should be felt but not seen. Oooooo! Woooooaah!" But for this assignment, it is OK to see it, since we're just getting a feel for how to use it.
Click on the image of the obstacle course to see my first -very rough- "blocking pass." A blocking pass is when you only see the frame in which the key is set, and there is no information filled in between keyed-frames. (I am not used to this AT all.)
