First Shot Planning and blocking

This is the first shot of my thesis,
I use the character walk I did before and change it a little bit.
these planning help me to find the acting choice and also figure out how the mechanics works.



So far, I want to make sure the overall timing is working, not worry about the splining, yet.
About the style of this short, strong poses will be my first concern. Movement and acting will be more cartoony, not exactly the Warner Bro. style, but close.

Thank you Charles, you always give me very helpful comment.

Juice Box Planning and Polish Animation

I use the juice box model, and re-rig it with IK straw.
this is a basic acting practice.
the goal is make the characters' attitude clear and maintain the material.

AnimationTest Planning and Final Rendering

I did this for my thesis short last summer((I know, long time ago...))
I did the modeling, rigging, lighting and rendering, oh..animation of course.
I borrow the rigged model "bunny doll" and table modeling.
For the final rendering, used maya sofware.



Because of Magician has such giant nose, so I have to make sure his head turn is fast enough to avoid it face to the camera, he has to keep profile all the time.
Also want to make sure how he moves, how snappy could work?
I got the rough idea after this done.
