Animating the A

The next stage was to begin animating the characters. Ben had boned the A so that I could begin working on it. As I found this quite complicated, I didnt go too complicated, and simply had the A tapping its 'feet' as it appeared to sing on stage. I added a camera to the scene, with the target facing the letter, and applied a path constraint to the camera itself which arced around the letter.


I also added the lights, which were something I had not really experimented with before. I used Target Spot lights, and applied a Volume Light to it. I then changed the colour and clicked the check box to show the cone, which resulted in colourful spotlights which worked well.


The audience members that Sam had created were also added to the scene, and animated moving to the music.
