this reel is a compilation of six separate 3d animation exercises created for an introduction to animation class that i took in spring of 2020. during the course of the semester, we used foundational animation principles to create a variety of exercises to show what we had learning. the exercises were as follows:

​

• three bouncing balls at three different velocities,

• a tailed pendulum to show secondary motion, 

• a bouncing ball with a tail, 

• another tailed ball but with emotion,

• a weight shift,

• and a vanilla walk cycle.

​

these exercises were meant to help us all learn the basics of 3d animation so that we would be able to use the knowledge to create more advanced work.
