I have created the rough draft to my lamp animation. Instead of going along with the jumping on the block animation, I have once again deviated a little bit but not so much as I had originally planned.
I have imported assets from the chess section and have decided to make my lamp jump and then flip over the King piece, do a second backwards jump and nod at the camera.
This sample only has a single camera, but I intend to keyframe in two extra cameras for specific shots, like a brief slow motion section at the height of the lamps flip.
I still have some fine tuning to do with the rocking before the jump, but so far I am quite happy with this. I hope to have the fine tuning completed the day after i post this and have the final render posted by the following day.
For some reason the youtube upload is darker than the actual render so I will be updating the brightness in the final version.
