Robot Arm Blocking Assignment

This is one of the assignments I've been really looking forward to but I hate that were only meant to do 100 frames (a little over 4 seconds)! The assignment is to make the arm turn around, pick up the can and turn back around and set it down but 4 seconds isn't long to do all that and to add real character to it, still I gave it a go.

This week we are just meant to be blocking our animation so at least I can come up with the idea with plenty of time. Click here for a definition of BLOCKING. Below is what I have come up with so far. The Robot Arm is meant to be surprised by the can bumping into him so I wanted the quickness really to show that.
