The Plan of Action!

For my Personal Preject, I would like to produce a series of very short character animations for my show reel, and one longer one to focus on.

The smaller animation exercises will consist of thing like the facial reactions of a character watches a scary film. I would also like tlo include a run and jump, a heavy lift, a lip sync and throwing a Ball.

The main product I would like to focus on is a about a lab test squirrel determinedly making his way across an obstacle course, only to be too exhausted to enjoy his prize of a nut at the end.

I will use Josh Burtons “squirrely” rig, and the obstacle models themselves will be quite simple; so that I can manage my time and focus on the quality of my animation.

Squirrel Character Bio-

The squirrel has been in the lab most of his life and has grown to be quite competitive. He has learnt that doing well in his “tests” yields rewards.

His demeanour is focused and determine at first, but he ends up in a frenzie if motion. He is a high energy character, with allot of body tension and an outer power centre. His movements are skilful but become increasingly frantic as he takles the various obstacles.
