This began when attempting to create a high quality gadget render. It turned onto a small animation after getting carried away.
It featured "self stabilising" legs. I started off trying to use standard hierarchy settings and lock tools to make these legs work in the correct way for their joints whilst staying connected to the phone. This turned out to be a nightmare due to the tight angles and lack of knowledge on my part. I ended up using a basic bone structure and animating it mainly by hand. This also meant the phone looks like a jellyfish when moving it around in the viewport.
After a render, z depth and "screen" pass the entire video was compiled in after effects. Although the basic movement and action is finished I intend to do a lot more with this design.
