Most of my effort went into animating the monkey who leaps, reaches but falls short of the prize.The arm reaching was the challenge. I wanted the reach to happen quickly and then slow down as the monkey dropped back to the floor. The lower half of the monkeys is hidden by the mass of monkeys all around him, so that mace the job much easier.
With that finished, I added a simply movement to one of the monkeys in the scrum. There is another group of four monkeys in front of this mass, so part of this animation sill be hidden. All together I have nine more monkeys to animate. The movements for each should be much more subtle than the leap I just finished animating.
Animation for all the monkey tails is already done, but I will import that at the end. I am hoping that today will be another two monkey day.
