Having missed this Monday’s lesson due to the puppet animation, I was a little worried about catching up, especially with this exercise being needed for the December hand-in deadline. I spent most of the week trying to catch up but I’m very happy with the result. The idea is that the character has just come away from doing something tiring, hence the tired walk, stops in front of the table, sees the cakes but isn’t interested, knowing he’d probably have to pay for them, until he sees the ‘FREE CAKES’ sign and he suddenly regains his energy. He decides to ignore the ‘please take ONE’ instruction on the sign and sneakily checks around before swiping the other four cakes and flouncing off with newfound enthusiasm.
Hopefully its clear in the actual animation, I just purposefully didn’t want to make him too reactive or exaggerated before he notices the sign.
