G'day all! Started to get back into learning animation, so we'll be pushing out a few animation tests one-by-one until we have enough to fill a brand new minute-long showreel, because I feel our current one is seriously outdated and not representative of my current skill in this field.
For this one second clip, I wanted to show my character Flye snappily turning around, and then springing out into a jump to chase his pet firefly, Flitta, with some important animation principles like "anticipation" and "squash & stretch".
Already got ideas for other tests now, so I better make like Flye here and hop to it!
