I began this course by using my housemate and her athletic abilities for reference in a "total wipeout" style obstacle. The references were then used a put together to create a video reference which then gave me the idea for the setup I wanted and the background which I then took to a 3d background. My initial background was 3d and was meant to include water and a paring shot however once I began animating my character I noticed that the background didn't work so well with the simple character design so I chose to change tit to a simple line art background which worked much better , this also allowed me to more easily animatic the bounce on the ball when the character moves from. one ball to another, before they fall to their demise.
