Brief: Model and Animate an original Character.

I decided to keep the project to a simple cartoon effect in order to make it look more visually pleasing within the time we had. Using shape animation for facial expressions and bones with weighting for other movements I made the animation phase easier. I recorded most of the sound myself, if not, it was downloaded from a sound sample website. I used Premiere to edit it and AfterEffects to do the titles. The hardest thing about this assignment was coming up with a short and snappy storyline.
