For my CG project using a pre rigged biped model I had to create a character performance using industry standard processes. The character will walk towards a box, look into the box and react to the contents. Along with this we had to create a 3D model of our choice.

I was incredibly happy with how my Jack in the box turned out, it was a vast improvement on what I had previously made. I’m glad I used him in my final sequence, even if he did cause issues with timing, it added a touch that was mine. It made my sequence original to me. I also like that I managed to create a background for my character and box, for me it just brought it all together. Again unfortunately is caused problems with lighting and rendering, but they soon got fixed. But it just shows that I experimented.

I’m not completely happy with the actual animation I produced, I felt like the reaction wasn’t natural enough. Her reaction seems too quick and her eyes don’t move where I would like them to. I did however find it much harder than I thought I would, I kept coming across issues. Mostly the timing of the Jack in the box that I rigged myself, as a result it took longer than I intended and I feel like I could have produced a better animation. Even if it didn’t look as aesthetically pleasing. I cared too much about making it look nice, the animation suffered.
