Mum crab trying to walk in straight line

This a shot of the mum crab trying to walk in a straight line which is the defining scne in the animation. i did this just using the set key and moving the legs and body for in small amounts. also using the modify morpher to give expressions whilst doing the movement.

Shell Shocked!

Here is a facial expression using the modify morpher when the baby crab watchs his mum trying to walk in a straight line past the star fish. i just did various preset poses in the modify morpher and used them when neccesary.

Animation creation

Here is the first scene (camera angle not representative of actual view in finshed animation) were the two crabs walk along side each other for dialogue. ive just added the omni light to give a bit more depth to the scene and used the set key to animate the legs. i tried using the bone tool but it just didnt work very well for my models so i took the long route. For the facial expressions and mouth movements i used the modify morpher which rich taught to us earlier in the course and it work well for that purpose.
