This was a fun project, I rather enjoyed the storyboarding a bit more than I first thought I would, the major issue I had was trying to get the arms to move when I had my objects moving, I still haven’t mastered that yet, nevertheless the assignment was completed and I’m quite satisfied with my storyline.
I completely understand about getting the limbs of characters to move simultaneously with other objects. I figured a rather simple way of getting the charcater to animate though. I'll actually go into "add objects" and create a post for my characters standing pose, and then I'll rotate and move the limbs to create another pose. Afterwards I'll just make the two poses play and they'll end up make a smooth animation.
Just a little tip. I'm still somewhat curious whether there's an easier way to set poses though.
