My third scene, out of all the scenes ive done this probably differs from the animatic the most. This is because i really wanted to play with the animation in this scene and see how much character i could get out of the spider.
This was also probably the hardest shot to animate, its actually two different spiders. Impatient to get on with the animating i started about half way through startin from with when hes lying on the ground. After several failed attempts i decided it would be a heck of alot easier to give him IK handles in his lower legs so that it was easier to get his feet to stay on the ground. So i got that all animated and was happy with it, so i went back to animate the walk and fall but the IK kept mucking up the rig and animation. After spending most of sunday trying to get the thing working i decided that it would be easier to just import a spider with FK handles then have them switch halfway through, so thats what i did. Soon as FK hits the ground IK jumps in and takes his place.
Looking back at this i'm still not satisfed with the fall. And i my have to change the camera, i think the angle makes the approach look a bit funny but i'll see what the others say before i change anything.
