Geek Run

Filed under: Animation — Tags: , , — Jeff Baker @ 2:00 am

There are a couple of bits of my current reel that I want to replace so I’m working on some new stuff.  This is me trying to get more acting into my animation.  I’m going for a kind of awkward geek run.

I wanted to show you the back because I really like the secondary motion on the backpack.  Which there was a lot of that on this particular character so it made it a lot of fun to do.  Which all of that brings a lot of life to this little guy.  Thanks to Keil Figgins for providing free rigs for us animators to use.

  1. Nice, I reckon all it’s missing is a little bit more weight, maybe just exaggerate his vertical motion a little.

  2. Thanks Brendan,
    Thats exactly what another friend of mine suggested. As soon as I did that it gave a lot more life to the animation. I’ll post a Quicktime of that later so people can see what that small change can do.
