Character animation is the type of animation that pertains to bringing characters to life via animation. Today, I am planning to doing two tests of animation in Autodesk Maya for an animation project at college. Why 3 weeks for short animations? Good animation takes time.

Here are my ideas:

• Sit Down, Stand Up

This is basically an animation test of a character transitioning from a standing position to a sedentary (sitting) position or vice versa.

• • Catch

This is exactly what it says on the tin: a character catching an object as part of their endeavour.

I choose these two ideas because I found them interesting and there are creative ways to make these basic movements entertaining in animation.
