Animating Process - Scene 2 & 3

Scene 2 is a short short segment where the character claps his hands to turn on the laboratory lights. It leads directly into scene 3 after the lights have flickered into life.

In scene 3 the character drums his fingers together in a thoughtful yet creepy manner. This is the end of the introduction scenes and simply jump cuts into the next scene where things get started.

Scene 2 - Clapping on the lights

Scene 3 - Drumming fingers

The drumming of the fingers was a simple yet fiddely process, animated using keyframing techniques for each finger. Once I had the initial sequence of fingers drumming I copied the frames and duplicated the sequence twice more.

Here is what it looks like at the moment:

 

The sequences feel a bit jumpy between each other so I will probably go back and try and make it flow better.
