Scene 2

Scene 2

Scene two involved 3 cameras and a few different animations, mixed together through the CatBox system. The CatBox system works by creating animations and then saving them to layers. You can then increase the weighting on each individual layer to make the character play out that movement. If you want a mixed of the two animations you can simply blend the two layers together, by turning the weight up on both and create a complex animation in a short period of time. A notable way of telling the different layers apart is by the colour they give to each layer.

The cameras are used all at different times during the animation, to save time and space creating a seperate max file for each scene.

Character Understanding

In this scene the character is pulling the straps on his Jetpack, and then in the next scene, continues to press the button on his Jetpack. The animation is quick and gives the impression the character is in a rush to try his gadget.
