Falling Skies

eye worm character

I got to work with this cool bug character for the TV show, Falling Skies. My compliments to whoever rigged this beast. It was a fun rig to work with.

My original animation was only 3 seconds long, produced for iPad kiosks at the San Diego Comic-Con. This is a 12-second enhanced version, created for my own pleasure, and will have no commercial application

final storyboard

I didn't create a storyboard for the original job, but made one this time to help determine more precise timing. The purpose of a storyboard is to save time animating and reduce dead-ends.
