Animation Week 9

This week I began to think about starting my final project which is to create a sport animation for the summer Olympics, which I chose tennis, mainly because I wanted animation that challenges me and I quite like watching tennis, so it appeals to me more than the others. 

This week I was also introduced to a new rig called Norman, even though this is more complex, and might take a while to figure out how all the controls work, I wanted to use this because it gives me more control over the rig, making my animations more clearer.

This will be my main reference video I will use to create my tennis animation, because of the time limit being 6-10 seconds I will just do a tennis surf, with the character bouncing the ball preparing to surf at the beginning.
