Come of Age

Another one of my animations I never really got to share here on my blog.

Tried out this free tiger rig and practiced on my quadruped animation more. Also wanted to animate the face of the tiger and do a bit more facial acting with it since it had a nice setup. Thought of what better audio to use than the voice of one of the most popular tiger characters ever, Shere Khan from The Jungle Book.

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.
