Synchronising moves
Having rigged the jelly baby with the bones system and edited the envelopes to control the movement of each individual part howeverI still wanted the character to be fairly bendy but not overly so. I thought the gummy bears might give some insight as these too were originaly jelly type sweets. However a search on youtube revealed a 2D cartoon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loUNoy0Qub0 and a 3D character whose movements were much too rigid and fast for my purposes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=astISOttCQ0 (and actually quite frightening to watch). To help find the sort of movement I wanted from the character I searched BBC iPlayer for current children's animations. I came across "Charley Bear" http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/search?q=little%20charley%20bear, whose movements I thought emulated the type of thing I wanted from the jelly baby character. As a soft toy I felt his movement were fluid without going to excess. I even bought a pack of jelly babies to test out their consistency.
