Facial Animation 003
Consonants' lip-sync, Groggy's facial rig is really very difficult to manage, good practice overall though, even when the result is not brilliant.
The character is Groggy Rig 1.0.0 (by Zubuyer Kaolin).

Facial Animation 001
Some exercises on blinks and how to use them to give more life to a character, and reinforce the movement.
Basic blink:
I found a very good article about blinks by Carlos Baena from where I got this particular tip that I really liked. I changed it a little, but I like the idea of the eyes blinking at different times.
"As
for ideas on how to animate a blink, this is something that I've
used a lot which I learned from another animator here - I offset
the blinks but the actual closure of the eyes occurs on the same
frame. This allows for the organic offset without the cartoony (but
cool, of course!) eyeblinks that Pixar, for example, often uses.
Basically
it works like this:
Frame
10: both eyes are open
Frame 11: Left eye begins to close
Frame 12: Right eye begins to close
Frame 13: BOTH eyes are completely closed
Frame 15: Left eye completely open
Frame 16: Right eye completely open"
Blink and Eye Movement:
Frame 11: Left eye begins to close
Frame 12: Right eye begins to close
Frame 13: BOTH eyes are completely closed
Frame 15: Left eye completely open
Frame 16: Right eye completely open"
Blink and Eye Movement:

Run cycle
The last cycle for the moment, now I will move to a little more of acting...
Not completely happy with Bloke's head on this one. Once rendered it looks odd.

Double-bounce, I made this following the Richard Williams' example from TASK, it looks quite funny:

Balance/weight Animation
This is an Animation exercise to stay on shape until some job comes. Just a quick balance/weight exercise; I used the George Maestri's tutorial as reference by the way.

Delirium Tremens
This Animated short was developed as a group project. I had the chance to animate some of the shots, as well as to model and rig some of the secondary characters. Overall it was a fun and very educational period working with the 10 Monkeys. To check part of the project click here.
