Here's my progress reel for class 2 Animation Mentor. I'm not very happy with it, but I think I did the best I could. I'm trying to figure out why this was not as successful as I had hoped, and I think it has a lot to do with communicating over the internet. I'm not used to asking questions in full sentences. I'm also not used to reading complete sentences. So props to whomever is reading this right now. On the bright side, I feel like I'm more capable of defining what I'm struggling with. As in, "Is there another way to track arcs besides going frame by frame with a dry erase marker?" I can't believe that's what people do, it takes forever to do 200 frames. Seriously, is there?

Congrats on finishing Class 2. I know it is so much more complicated than Class 1, but look at how many more parts we have to deal with. One of the things to remember about computer animation is that you don't have to key each frame. Let the computer do some of the work. Manipulate the graph editor so that your splines look like smooth arcs by manipulating the key handles, and only put a key when the arc doesn't give you the movement you're after.
I hope I'm helping, but your work doesn't look bad, just needs a little more polish :o)
