Dance Animation

For this animation we were tasked with first coming up with a character design, then making a short animation of this character dancing.

For the character design I tried to consider the overall shape and silhouette. After a couple iterations I ended up with a rooster sausage type creature with a flowing comb on top of his head, knobbly elbows and blooming pantaloons.

For the animation I chose a strange sort of dance that I thought would fit the personality of my character. I thought he would be somewhat dorky and uncoordinated, so I found a dance reference online that worked with this. His secondary movements are with his comb and his pants.
