As part of the animation course we created a gif that includes puppet elements and using different effects and plugins to create a rig to animate a figure walking.
I think that this turned out pretty well. I would do some things differently next time but I think that the overall effect works and I am now confident in creating an animation with people moving and interacting with props like the camera.
When I have time I'll neaten it up a bit and make it more polished (that shadow needs work!) but I'm happy with it as a work in progress.
