Weight Animation

I very much enjoyed the weight project. I chose to animate the character Moomin, from the Swedish series The Moomins. For this animation, I had two components to animate: Moomin, along with the heavy body bag he drags across the screen. Looking back, I probably could've made things a little easier for myself had I put a peg on the camera to create the illusion of movement, as it was fairly easy to animate the first time Moomin pulls the bag. However, for the second pass, I copy and pasted the sequence and individually moved each layer over to show that Moomin was moving backward, which was quite time-consuming. Nevertheless, I had a good time animating the sequence, and I also believe it helped prepare me for the walk cycle, since I had to animate the foot movements as he stepped backward.
