Animated Narratives – The Pro Ghost

Originally Corey Thompson was meant to handle modelling, rigging and animating the Pro Ghost that teaches the Noob Ghost how to plant flowers. Unfortunately he was unresponsive and did not complete any work, so I took on the responsibility of the Pro Ghost. Because of time restrictions I took the previous Ghost I worked on “Clay” and used him as a base. I changed his colour, face, hat and gave him a moustache, so the only thing really cleft of “Clay” was the base body and rig. I adjusted and added some new controls to get extra expressions from the eyes, eyebrows and moustache. I then took to animating him.

The five shots I had to animate went by well. I made sure to properly convey the necessary timing and emotions in the animation, which I think I achieved really well. The movements and expressions are cute and kid friendly.
