Weight lifting

First assignment in class 3 of Animation Mentor, and we pretty much have a free rein to animate any three physical shots we'd like to do.

My emphasis this class will be to come up with three physical shots that cover some of the more advance body mechanics concepts: lifting a heavy weight, running, pulling and pushing a heavy object.

The toughest part this week was coming up with the technical rigging in Maya to bind the character's hands to the bar and have them rotate with the weight in a believable way.
