Week 2 – Pendulum

This blog is about process of making simple animation of Pendulum movement.

Version One

I tried to animate the Pendulum, and in this version the Pendulum swings too much at the top (sketch of 5th step) of my animation. This was because I had a problem with the planning. Then I kept trying to change this problem, pendulum still showed not good, therefore I got the animation of pendulum back to the parallel movement shown in the Final Version.

This video shows the movement of pendulum made in Maya. The item reference is from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hE_6rYcQY0 

Sketch

This image shows the pendulum movement. I drew key frame(black), extremes frame(red), breakdowns frame (blue) and some frames between them (green and yellow).

Final Version
