Study Task 10 - Animation 3

I wasn't sure how the movement for this scene would work (Beram climbing onto the top of the hill and looking at the view), so I recorded some reference of me climbing onto something and used that to create the keyframes:

This helped me a lot with figuring out how Beram would scramble up, and I took a very methodical pose to pose process for this scene:

I think breaking it down into keyframes and then inbetweening those really helped me with this scene, and I think it turned out pretty good. I had a bit of trouble with deciding the timing in the keyframes stage, as there would be some holds and I'd have to take that into consideration for the timings, however it became a good guide for me, and ended up only being slightly quicker than the final thing. 

I animated the cape and crown only after the character animation was done, to make it simpler for me. I also didn't animate the face till the very end, and just used a cross guide for a reference. Finally, before cleanup I realised that Beram was too small, and therefore had to enlarge him. This resulted in the lines being a little too thick in the end in my opinion, but overall I'm pretty pleased with this scene.
