Kitty followthrough

For this assignment I chose to focus on follow through. Originally I had a completely different concept but when I filmed it I realized that it was a bit too challenging and would have taken too long. I decided to scrap that idea it so that I could prioritize quality. The beginning frames are a little wobbly as I was getting used to working with multiple pieces but luckily I got better with practice and the film got less wobbly. The vent was supposed to be too chilly for the cat which is why she jumped away but the way I tried to show cold air looked confusing so I scrapped it. I tried to pay close attention to the ears,  eyes, and mostly the tail as they reacted to the body's movements. I made the ears bounce when she got up and dropped down, pulled them back for the jump and pulled them more forwards as she slowed in the air. The eyes would also close when she impacted and changed direction for the jump. The tail was definitely my favorite part to do and although this piece feels short to me I think the work I did to show the followthrough payed off.
