Puppet tool

To day I have been working with the puppet tool to add secondary motion to my animated background scenes for our animation and watched a tutorial whilst doing so to help me with understanding how to use the tool better.

The reason for watching this tutorials was to help me understand the puppet tool a lot better because I need the puppet tool to help me with secondary motion and applied this method to my animated scenes because they looked very rigged and static in their movement, reason being they had only one way of moving.

This made the project move forward because it provided  my animation with the secondary motion needed to improve my scenes for the animations but also provided me with a new skill which I have been wanting to learn in AfterEffects for a very long which I can now apply to my current applied animation work. I can now use this to improve each and every scene of my animations so that they all look lively and realistic with secondary motion.

I have learnt how to add both secondary motion and a moving a effect to my animation all thanks to the tutorial provided above. This tutorial was very useful because it guided me carefully through the methods on how to use the puppet tool and made me understand each section step for step explaining each function the tool provides to get me used to its capabilities before moving on, before using this tutorial I did not know what the puppet tool was. I watched this tutorial to help me improve my animation skills in AfterEffects because I haven't fully grasped the package yet and their were many things I still need to learn in order to get better, the puppet tool was one of them.

This went well because I managed to get a few of my scenes completed with secondary motion which my team members were very impressed with based on the content in relation to the story and the characters because the colours communicated the sadness with in the story of the animation.

In the future I will keep practising with the puppet tool to make sure I understand how to use the tool in the future to help make my animations look more professional in the way they move on screen.
