Character Animation

This Animation is to show the gorilla and the little girl acting like a gorilla. The animation isn't how i wanted it to be but i found it really had to get the positions of the characters correctly. I would have also had liked it to be longer, but i was running out of time.
The background was of a picture i took at the london museum of the outside territory. I then wanted there to be glass between the two characters to show they weren't in quite the same environment and separate. I used a transparent block to try and get a glass effect.

I had problems with moving the whole characters about, this was due to me not including a main controller in the rig, it meant i couldn't put the two characters in the same scene without them clashing, so i had to render them separately and import them in together in after effects.

Although i feel i have for-filled the brief, i think i could have done certain things better. The character modeling i could have halved the character and mirrored it so it would be exactly the same on both sides.

When rigging, i should make the rig both IK and Fk to be able to move the Characters in a more realistic way. Some of the handles i could have put in different places and make them bigger so it was easier to make the characters move.


Over all the time schedule of the project was not exactly how it i would have liked it to go, i think i spent a lot of time deciding on what i wanted to do rather then getting on and doing it.
