Eating and Drinking

Here's a video of a character munching down on a feast. I wanted a focus on eating and drinking. This piece is actually unfinished, I'd like to add some Visual Effects on the torches (fire) and some liquid wine in the glass. I'd also like to extend the animation so he gets up and runs at the end and the Ogre that he's stealing the food from walks in Goldilocks style, angry and curious as to why his food's half eaten.


Oh, and if you're wondering, I did indeed model and texture the environment. I added some basic candle flicker and lighting too, but nothing fancy; in fact the scene still needs shadows. I had subsurface shading on the candlesticks too, but that's a mentalray thing and since his eyeballs were nurbs they would disappear in the render. So I cut my losses. I figured it was probably more important to have eyeballs than realistic looking candles...

Emotions

This is a video showing the transition between three emotions. He stars out sort of coy and shy, then does a take and is shocked by something he sees, only to get angry at whatever it was.

Eye Focus

This animation is a focus on the emotion eyes can portray. This character is supposed to be a young girl being yelled at by her Angry Aunt. The audio was taken from the 11 Second Club, although this piece was never entered.

Headturn 180 degrees

Here's an animation - focusing on facial animation - of a girl getting interrupted from a book by a noise she's hearing and can't figure out where it's coming from.
