Character Model
—–
The Hammer is a short animation about curling. All assets are made from scratch in Autodesk Maya. This project serves as a proof of concept for what would be a series or short film.
Meet my character. She’s the captain of the team, and can keep her composure in high pressure situations.
She is fully rigged and posable. However, not everything ended up working the way I wanted so I was not able to animate her.
I also modeled, textured, and rigged a broom, along with the stone and environment shown in the video.
I made use of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to texture my models.
Animation

Animation was done in Autodesk Maya, the graph editor made it easy to manipulate keyframes.
I edited in Adobe Premiere and After Effects, adding audio and adjusting lightness.
Pre-Production
—–
The process of creating my character and modeling her over the course of the semester was a great learning experience.
I completed an animatic prior to production of my assets, but did not have enough time to realize it.
