Course: Computer Animation VI
Once our thesis films were finished—a day I never thought I’d see—there was one month left in the semester for our final project, one we had the freedom to choose what to make. Some students model one or more characters/environments, some make an animation, some a few lighting pieces, some learn a new technical feature in a software (nCloth, nHair, particles, etc.), and so on.
I hadn’t animated a lot of male characters, I only did lip sync once, and all of the previous animation projects in school were of only one character, so I made sure to challenge myself for the final project addressing all of these, with a young and old man for contrast, and they had to physically contact and interact with each other. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. It feels like the first animation I wasn’t rushing through just to turn in by the deadline.
