Animation Assignment number 2!

Here's my second character animation assignment. We had to pick one of the the proposed rigs (I chose Malcolm from AnimSchool), and a clip of our choice as a reference. We had to focus on facial expressions and subtle emotions. I tried a bit of lipsynch too, but that really wasn't the main goal in this exercise.

You can also download the Malcolm rig for free from AnimSchool HERE.

The reference clip is Jim Halpert from the American version of the tv show The Office.

Flour Bag Animation

Here's my first assignment of the semester at Centre NAD, and it's an animation exercise! I was a little worried about taking this animation class, as I still felt unsure whether or not I'd enjoy character animation in 3D. But I ended up really enjoying this assignment.

We had to take this flour bag character, which was already rigged and textured for us, and animate it for 7-10 secs in order to portray one of the 6 basic emotions. I chose surprise, which hopefully everyone can tell.

Watch it here!

I might as well include the original thumbnails I drew for those interested in the process :
