Frenimation

See a snippet of the not-so-exciting life of a little "fren" and its fren friend.

This animation was the final project of my CAR 530 - Introduction to Maya course taken at Syracuse University. This project took a total of about two weeks: One week for storyboarding, environment modeling, and character modeling, and one week for rigging and animation.

Below is the very messy storyboard! I ended up cutting some bits at the end.

I think that the most challenging part of this project was most definitely not only creating a character for rigging but also doing the rig. This was the first time I had ever created a character for rigging and actually doing rigging in Maya, but I think the rig ended up pretty good in the end! Also, learning the animation tools in Maya was a blast, the timeline was super intuitive for me to pick up!
