Applied Animation - Ra'zac animation

Because of the way the backgrounds are going to be animated, with the camera moving through the trees, i decided to work on doing the animation of the characters as their animation could be placed on top of the backgrounds.

Each character is being animated on separate files and will be put into the respective software that i use to put the animation together.

The razacs movements were really interesting to work with as i was able to make them leap and swerve across the screen, however this was initially quite tricky and their actions were simplified to make the movement easier to animate. Prior to the above animation the razac had their limbs present but this caused their jumping to not make sense as the pushing and falling was unnatural and i didn't know how to carry one movement onto the next so i restarted it into the above.
