So far I have got to where the boat enter from the left to the center zooms in the waves splash. I have started to introduce the tentacle but am struggling how to have part of it behind the boat and part of it in front. During all this the waves move up and down along with the boat. I have done this by changing the position and rotation. I am happy with the circular motion the waves are making as the three layers of them work nicely together. However rotating the boat back and forth just isn't working. When the music's pace quickens I have done it so does the boat but the quickness distorts the movement and the result isn't boat-like. So although I have come so far I have decided to delete all of the boats key frames and use motion sketch.
Motion sketch will enable me to play the music at the same time I want the boat to move by moving the cursor back and forth along with it. Below is a tester I did on a block shape, it shows the arch movement that the boat will follow.
MOTION SKETCH
PUPPET PIN TOOL
On the tentacle I have placed the puppet pin tool five times along its center. Along with this I have changed the position and rotation so that the tentacle enters from the bottom right reaches towards the boat and then curves to drag itself back down. I am currently looking at tutorials on YouTube to figure out how it'll drag the boat down with it. My initial thoughts are that I could parent it but I don't want them stay together at the start. I also need to see how I can put the tip of the tentacle in front of the boat and the middle behind as it drags it down. I could possibly do this by having the tentacle as two sections on different layers and parenting the tip.
