TITLE: Light Saber Character Animation Assignment
MEDIA: 3D Animation
SOFTWARE: Maya
CLASS: FMX 217 Beginning 3D Animation
PROFESSOR: Doug Sutherland
SEMESTER / TERM: FA 17
INSTITUTION: University of Tampa

This project was perhaps the most complex project for me to complete. The process was strenuous. First I recorded myself with Professor Sutherland. Through his instructions I had to act out the what the character needed to accomplish which was: walk, pick up the light saber, perform and action, and drop the light saber. I then brought the footage into Maya and animated the entire thing. The entire project took me about 24 hours to complete with several trial and errors.
