My little yellow lamp animation - First Animation in Blender

Here is my animation I came up with for this part of the course. Left it rendering while I was at work. Very satisfied with how it turned out.

I took my time around that lecture, and went off to study pixar’s lamp, and was thinking about weight. Imagining if I was the lamp, what part of my body would move backwards or forward, up or down to jump. I went through a couple animations that I just tossed because they didn’t feel right. Deleting all the key-frames (while saving a different file) and trying different approaches is worth the experimentation.

Playing around with the constraints for the bones to not get any weird movements when using Auto IK for animating also helped me out.
