Character Animation

For this project, I had to animate a pre-rigged character. The character that I chose was a really simple one to animate. I got this character rig from a friend who used it in the Figure Motion class. I decided to make my character do a salute. This involved keying the Rotation X, Rotation Y, and Rotation Z attributes of the different joints on the arm. The animation has 96 frames.
