Week 7 - intro to animation!

This week we had two simple animations to complete, they sounded quite simple to start but were a great way to learn the basics of setting keyframes and editing the Graph Editor. The Graph Editor looks like it will be massively important when it comes to animation!! so we will need to become new best friends if i'm to become a successful animator! We learned how to edit the spline curves and tangents to make movement move fluid, its a great intro as when I have previously attempted to use this I found it extremely confusing!
This week we created an animation of a sphere moving through space to get us used to keyframes and also a sphere moving in a simple circle from a 2d viewpoint, but had to create a smooth circular motion rather than a diamond shaped motion through editing the spline curves!
