Animation plan


Animation plan

After some looking through the game show reels from my previous blog posts I started to consider what I wanted to include in my show reel. In this stage of planning I considered what genre, game type, camera view and movements I wanted to use in my show reel.

The rig I have decided to use is Mannequin 0.0.2 by Milan Pad.

The reason I think this rig is a good choice is because it shows a demo of how the mannequin can be used here is an example of the rig in use;

Another valid reason why I am using this rig is because it does not have any distinctive features or faces so all the animation I perform on this rig do will define its own personality and characteristics through movement.

Here is a front and side walk of my use of the mannequin rig;
