Blow Your Head Off

Wanted to try out the Will character rig I bought from Long Winter Studios. I was at the cinema a few weeks back when the trailer for the movie "Kong: Skull Island" played, and I thought a line that was delivered by Samuel L. Jackson during the trailer would be perfect for the shot I wanted to animate.

Here's a breakdown of my "Blow Your Head Off" shot

Block - Blocked the key poses for my animation.

Spline - Tried to get the overall feel and timing of my animation.

Polish - Adjusted and deleted movements for smoother flow of movement. Polished the timing, spacing, and feel of my animation.

Finalizing - Finally I added the facial animation and polished the mechanics more. I also modified the rig a bit as well as animating the stool to give the sense movement.

Hope you guys like it! :)
