Introduction
This week, I focused on creating some environment assets and polishing my body mechanics animation.
Environment Modeling
Modeling a City
I modeled some skyscrapers and towers as I wanted to create a city for my background and convey the idea that my character is running on a rooftop.
Body Mechanics Animation
Animation
This week, I added a parent constraint on the balloon to make its movement smoother and I also focused on fixing my arm rotations in the graph editor.
Furthermore, I added a Mr. Crocker inspired electrocution animation after the lightning strikes my character.

Further Thoughts
In the following weeks, I will work on overlapping the hands and fingers, as well as tracking their arcs. In addition, I will also include some deformation of the balloon, when the character grabs it. Finally, I will include some special effects when the lightning strikes and electrocutes my character.
