Falling Into Frame BTS

Written by:

I was the rigging lead for Sleep Deprived Studios! Here is a little video that shows off June’s rig. The biggest challenge was figuring out the eyes since we wanted animated textures, as opposed to geo. I ended up creating a hybrid method that utilizes both PNG Sequences (pupil movement) and UV Offsets (eyelid movement)! It was a great challenge and learning experience for me, and I definitely will optimize it more in the future.

I was also one of the main animators for Sleep Deprived Studios! Here are all the shots I animated for our hypothetical trailer. While it is not my forte nor my favorite part of the 3D pipeline, this whole experience did inspire me to continue with animation and get better as time goes on!

Finally, I wanted to show off some silly BTS moments where I had to teleport Robert and break some rigs to get the exact look we wanted.

Here is the full animated trailer!
