Toolkit 2 - Maya: Lesson 4 Anticipation and Following Though

 Continuing on from our previous lesson, the goal was to add a few more keys frames so to have some anticipation and following though actions. The first key frame was around 174. Here we add a small leaning forward before Moom lifts the barbel. The second was around 217 and is to bring in a small bounce where Moom would be catching himself after the lift. 

The hands are now slower when bringing up the Barbell, this  is to give the impression of weight. 

All of these added action can be done using the Graph Editor or by eye. We need to reduce any flatness at the beginning of our arcs so to get better animation, these new arcs work in the opposite directions to our animation main arcs.

Also in term of the Gimble Lock on Moom's right hand, my tutor was able to help me remove it.
