Scene 3 - Eating Hotdog

In this scene, the man very comically throws the hotdog up into the air, it spins around and he catches it in his mouth, swallowing it whole.

To animate this, I had originally intended to link the sausage to the hand so that their movements were completely accurate, this was a problem cause there was no way to unlink them mid-animation as far as I could make out, meaning that I would have to key frame the two items together.

Once the man has thrown his arm up, I then animate the hotdog to fly into the air, spinning as it goes, this was easily achieved by using the move and rotate tools. I have animated it so that the hotdog seems to float up into the air, as I feel this is a lot funnier than if it had realistic physics. I will be using this same philosophy when I animate the man falling over.

When the man goes to catch the sausage in his mouth, I rotated his head back as if he was looking up. Once the sausage has gone into his mouth, I return his head and limbs to their normal positions.

The camera in this scene follows the sausage as it flies into the air and lands in the man's mouth. I achieved this by key framing the gizmo to follow the sausage as it went up into the air and then following it down.
