Here is the the youtube link to my final animation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVOfOE_JJeA
Overall I enjoyed this module. Being the first time on the course that we had looked at any animation it was very interesting to learn the basics of it from the very ground up. Learning to properly use the graph editor within Maya was probably the single most beneficial thing I learnt at it makes animating within Maya so much easier that trying to do it solely through to the viewport.
By the end of the module, I definitely feel that my animating skills now are, while still very basic, a good starting point for any future animation work. I feel that throughout the module I was able to fairly easily complete all of the class tasks and certainly have a firm grasp of the basic principles of animation. I also feel that the research and planning that I did for my animation, including the reference videos, script and dope sheet were all up to a high standard as they proved to be a massive help when it came to actually creating the animation. As for my final animation itself, I am pretty pleased with it. While there are a few areas in it which could probably be improved, I am pleased that I was able to get the hang of animating in Maya, allowing me to create an animation which I believe is good enough for a first ever attempt.
