I worked on the animation for a bit today. After having adjusted all the anchor points on each of the limbs and parenting them to the body I began to block out the general path of movement. I decided to quickly hand draw some boards showing my keys so I could better visualize here I wanted my little shape guy to jump and fall.
After blocking out the positioning, I adjusted the shape of the body to squash and stretch as it jumped and hit the top of the frame. I also edited the the paths of the limbs to make it appear as they were bending in order to initiate the jump.
So far I’ve only done the first jump and hit, and no easing yet. Some of the timing also needs to be adjusted. Then I will have to animate the liquid once the main body is done.
