"GROOVE" CHARACTER PROOF-OF-CONCEPT

This character was created during a phase of testing a mocap previz pipeline for an animated film called "Groove." The character designs that the team had been working with did not translate well to motion capture - the mouse proportions were non-analogous to the human skeleton.

I was tasked with coming up with new character design for this urban, street-smart, dancing mouse. I built out the following proof-of-concept, showcasing how mocap could be applied easily to the new design. I was responsible for art directing the design, modeling the charcter and clothing, grooming, shading, rigging, and rendering the proof-of-concept.
