Animation- Puppet pin tool

In this lesson we were given the task of animating a scene where a man walks across the screen before slipping on a banana peel using a Jpeg of the man. This animation was entirely possible through the main tool of this lesson the puppet pin tool. The puppet pin tool essentially lets you pick different parts of the body on the Jpeg so you can manipulate them. You also use the puppet starch tool to represent what should be in the foreground and background so you don't want the guys arm disappearing behind his torso so you would use it on the torso. The next thing to do was to create a walk cycle using our puppet pin tool we were then going to key frame animate the mans body to walk in place. Once that was done going into the transform options and key frame his position to move along the image before finally getting to the banana and slipping on it. The puppet pin tool is a handy animation tool that could be very useful in idents because of what you could do with it.
