Way to go Kat! Keep 'em coming.

A (relatively) easy way to get 80% of your animation done pretty quickly is to:

  • on frame 0, set keyframes for all the bones you think you _might_ want to move at some point in your animation.
  • pose the character in its first significant pose (I'm defining a significant pose as a pose which involves moving at least three separate bone hierarchies, such as both arms and the torso.
  • go to the time when the character transitions to its next significant pose and copy the previous keyframes to here as well.
  • advance 6 frames in the timeline.
  • copy the previous keyframes to here(again) and then pose the character in the next pose. (all on the same frame)
  • go to the time when the character transitions to its next significant pose and copy the previous keyframes to here.
  • advance 6 frames in the timeline.
  • copy the previous keyframes to here(again) and then pose the character in the next pose. (all on the same frame).
  • Etc...
