Lab I - Juice box Animation

This is the research I did into juice boxes to get a bit of inspiration of how I'd like my juice box to look.

This is the juicebox rig I'll be using. It has a number of controls for movement, rotation and squash and stretch. The straw can also move independently from the box.

Reference video for how I want the juice box to look. Concept is that the juice box is responding to the noises made from a microwave! It's exploring, then curious, then scared and then recovering with heavy pants.

This simple animation of a juice box being startled by a ball and then pushing it away is what I created when I was exploring the rig. By testing the controls I can go into working on the actual animation feeling more prepared. The surprise/jump needs a bit of refining.

Here is the final juicebox animation! Super happy with how this turned out and pretty impressed with this as a beginner animator
