Project Proposal

My project for this semester will be in animating a push pin. It will drop from a specified height and make its way towards the viewer (using a series of camera angles and cut aways) before stopping. At this point the push pin will pick itself up and, look both ways, and then jump up and down in excitement.

The goal is to animate a inanimate object in a way that demonstrates humanistic characteristics and movements without straying to far from realism. The inspiration for this is the Luxo Jr. short from Pixar.
