Advanced Mechanics in CG Animation Tutorial

The Wall Climb:

Live Action Study: Wall Climb; This Part of the Tutorial just shows the important parts of the reference live action video. It just shows where movement, contact, hold, and more is and at what time.




In Maya: The Wall Climb Basics; For this part of the tutorial I am starting to animate in Maya.
It's a long process and below I will be adding videos showing part of my process going towards the end of each tutorial video.

First this picture above show a toolbar called Recall. and its a great way of selecting everything with one click.

In this first Video I am adjusting the model/Rig to the way I want to set my first key frame in the animation. The video is about 3mins long I will try to shorten them, but these videos are only progress.
2nd Video is also 3mins. Here I had a bit of trouble with the leg, I'm still working to get the second key frame.

2 Minute Video - More Process of animating to get the second key frame. The next video will show me working on the Third Key Frame.

Video  2:__ minute video


Doing it my way since the video is a bit uh..

I made a bit of progress and the animation is a bit odd when I scroll through the timeline. I am trying to fix it, but I can't at the moment. I don't see any keyframes that aren't suppose to be where they should. Also I still need to go back and adjust keyframes or so to make it look better.
