This animation was to focus on the principles of squash and stretch. To demonstrate this, I used a dinosaur rig to explain how squash and stretch works. As the dino falls to the 1st platform, we can see its head curl outwards, its legs straighten out and its feet point upwards. As it hits the platform, its body falls and lowers itself, its head drops and curls inwards and its feet align with the platform. After this happens, the dino prepares to jump through the barrier using the actions it used to 'compensate' for its landing. After it jumps through the barrier, it does the same actions again. Preparing to land or hit the platform. This was slightly different as the dinos trajectory was angled and not a straight free fall. After landing on the 2nd platform, the dino again uses its 'landing actions' to prepare for its final jump onto the ground.
The landing for this was slightly different as I decided to let the dino 'skid' on its landing for a second. This overall wasent too difficult to animate as I had planned to give the dino a short walk as it walks to the first platform but decided to leave this out since the focus was to demonstrate squash and stretch and not a dinosaur walking.
