run and fall

3D Model

for this assignment, I was tasked to create an expressive animation meaning that I would have to animate Lestor experience something like running in a marathon, losing his dog, and more. What I chose to do was animate him running so fast he fell then causing him to struggle to get up. The way this shows expression is by displaying the fatigue and weakness he feels after falling which ultimately leaves him to give up. something I struggled with was getting the run to be smooth. by this, I mean that if u pay attention you’ll see the rig bounce a bit that was in no way intended. something I liked was making him fall and try to get back up but I think the speed could maybe be better
