Aim
Experiment with hierarchical animation.
I found pendulum as an easy object to play around with, but what if we attach another pendulum to the same pendulum. Many questions arise, such as how would it animate if both the pendulums are of the same weight? Or, what kind of trajectory it will follow if the second pendulum is held higher than the pendulum it is attached to.
Method
Using the parenting/hierarchical method in Toon Boom Harmony, I used simple shapes ellipse and line to start with. I kept it minimal in order to focus more on the ease and timing in the animation.
Result
I created two versions of the same animated pendulums. It seems like both the animation depicts different weights.
Discussion
It was interesting to see, even just placing the starting point of the second pendulum can give different follow-through curves each time.
