SESSION ONE: Motion Analysis
In the first class, students participated in exercises designed to enhance their awareness and understanding of the motion of forms through 3D space. They stretched along the 3D Studio MAX x, y, and z axes, walked around the room at various speeds, and explored the effect on motion of a shifting center of gravity.

This class was performed when the students were learning the basics of timing, value and weight in animation. It was designed to aid the students in pacing their "Camera Story" animation homework, in which they had to tell a short story using only camera motion through a static space.
