I’m working on a new project for my animation class. The basic idea we were handed was to create a story around eating food, using the Norman rig. My idea was to have him carrying a tray of food, trip and fall, accidentally hitting a button that controls the gravity of his ship/spacestation. Initially I was going to have him struggling to try and get his food when in zero-g, but after some critique from my teacher, I’ve revamped it so he’s having fun with it.

I’ve blocked out the walk cycle, next I’ll be working on the trip and then I’ll move on to the weightless section. I’d like to make the trip happen in slow motion, so I can really exaggerate his expression. I’m not sure how much working time that would add to the project though, so at this point I’m just considering it as an option.
