Rollercoaster Animation Test.

This was a very simple short 12 second animation I did for school.
The original assignment required us to animate a character getting into a vehicle which had to follow a motion path.
Once the vehicle had finished it's course, the character had to exit the vehicle. Basic Key framing to motion path blending.
I decided to focus purely on the character animation and try my best to get it to look as professional as possible.

Aaahh, those first steps - they always are one of funniest :D Everything goes glitchy and work not as intended. I personally use 3ds max and also know how hard is those first steps when you want get everything work nice and smooth. By the way, although I am not a pro animator, just self-learning student/3d enthusiast, but I can say this video gives a good sense that you will become good animator. All those stretch and movements looks nice and funny So keep up

Good animation but its not clear on how he got from start to the end of the track so fast.though I do like the character design and the exaggurated stagger

I see. We were not allowed to use any form of composition software so everything had to be take with one camera. SO i coul'dnt pause it or hold it or anything.

Ya i agree though it was very rushed.
