I made this for an upcoming job. This is a test to see if the piston rig setup is working correctly.

Riann, I'm amazed that somebody can do this. Animation is hard!
Looks good to me. Thank You, E

Hi E

Thanks for the compliment. Animating mechanical stuff is easy. It is setting up the rigs for the pistons that takes a little longer and a lot of thinking.

I find animating organics (humans and animals) much harder!!! You have to make the motions smoother and timing is everything!!!

Very good and smooth...what is the progression from this?

Hi Nigel. I know I have answered the question on another thread, but just for those not watching the other one.

I have to demonstrate how these machines and my client's product help to make life underground safer. The next step is to place everything underground deep within the earth and create incidents before and after the equipment gets installed.

I will show some of these video here once the project is finished.
