Animating the Alien

Now that I'd finished the rig I had to animate it. Unfortunately the fore-arm roll would cause the hands to shake despite the controls being at zero, but the rest of the movement was easier to control, especially with the use of the Controllers. Using these allowed me to create key frames and stances, with the help of The animator's Survival Kit (Richard Willliams) I was able to create a walk cycle, as well as a jump and idle. The animation isn't fantastic, there are some alterations I would make, such as to his legs during the jump so he looks less floaty.
