Our first week of Stop Motion tasks consisted of animating two types of pendulums: a free swinging pendulum and a mechanical pendulum.

The first video shows my attempt at a free swinging pendulum.

This video shows my attempt at a mechanical pendulum.

I feel that I got the mechanical pendulum down pretty well, but I think I could improve on the free swinging pendulum. Maybe next time I attempt this task I'll add in more notches to make the movement more fluid.
