"Planted Keys: The Animators Secret Weapon" OR "-00:00:13:29 to LIFT OFF"

So we’re starting to make sense of this whole editing Mocap data thing.  The biggest discovery for us, thanks to our instructors, is the planted key.  Planted keys are used to anchor parts of a character(hand, foot)while the rest of the character is moving.  We relied heavily on planted keys to keep characters’ feet from moving when they were supposed to be standing still and whatnot.
