I did the maya animation of the block interaction, the idea beginning that a small cube is like the baby and the bigger cube is a parent. They are walking next to each other and the small cube is getting tired so the big cube gives it a piggyback ride.
I found using the scale tool was easy and the overall animation was simple, I am planning to do this in stop motion on Wednesday. I have already created the bar sheet for this.
Update :
I have now done the stop motion of this, I found that I had to change the jumping to tilting as I have no way to make the cube jump at this stage. The hardest part of the animation was making the cubes rotate as they moved as the rotation made them move further away from each other. I have noted that you can noticed this as well as a singe frame that is out of place when the cube it tilting.
Update:
I presented my interaction animation to the class and the story behind the interaction was guessed immediately so I think that I connoted the story successfully.
