Maya Animation


As I had chosen to use keyframed animation I set up a rig using a locater to make animating it easier. Based on my research and referneces the far side of the hula hoop is normally tilted downwards. The rig allowed me to set a tilt on the hula hoop itself so that i could just rotate the locator and the tilt would always stay correct. I'd already done a rough key of the footage and exported an image  sequence so i was able to set this up as a background plane to use as reference while animating. However, this proved annoying as on several occasions I started rendering and forgot to remove it.
