Various cinematic and in-game animation from the Disney Infinity franchise 1-3 using light game rigs animated in MAYA. I'm responsible for all character animation. Thanks for watching https://vimeo.com/161248812
Nice work! I have a question. When you had to animate a fight between kylo ren vs rey, creation of chereograpy was also your task or they gave you a story-board?
Thank you! I appreciate that. That was a particularly fun piece in that I had the freedom to not only animate the shot, but I came up with the concept itself. Finding an entertaining collaboration between these two characters was great
So I had a story-board but it didn't have any choreography, just action type poses. The actual "ballet of violence" was up to me. I had the initial frame range determined by the rotating camera speed. I thumb-nailed and shot reference of several interesting attacks and counter attacks. I intentionally varied the attacks…
Thanks! The crazy thing is, for that shot I had about zero reference. It was basically a premise (lightsaber duel in the snow) and the slightest of character descriptions (he's a bit out of control and bad, she's a bit inexperienced but good) The rest was all my imagination <span>:smile: </span> I don't think I answered…
