Battleship Potemkin

I adjusted a simple surface (cylindrical shell) by manipulating an attached skeletal structure, so I want to find a way to show this structure with my final form

Deformations

Mapping new joint configuration in Maya, then adding skin to create an object that can be manipulated by these joints.

working in maya, then adding a skin and manipulating further

I constructed my 2d diagram in 3d in Rhino- using the 3d motion of the falling man as reference. Then I exported into Maya, where I am trying to construct an object composed of joints.

Another version of my diagram.

Combination of diagrams & Alternate diagrams using the same method of documenting movement.

Potemkin Fall

I plan to map the movement of a man falling down in the Battleship Potemkin.
I'm trying to establish the anchor points that the man falls around.
