Butterflies and Poppies

Just sharing a little experiment in case interesting to anyone - a bit of fun. The ever helpful OK Samurai pointed me recently at Character Animator Examples, "Additional Puppet Resources", Dan's 2017 MAX class. An interesting set of exercises showing a few techniques I had not tried before. So I used a couple of these ideas to knock up a 30 second butterfly and poppies video. I wrote up a summary of what I did here. For detailed instructions, see Dan's notes at the link above. My blog just summarizes some of the features I used.
