Caveman Gibberish digital animation assignment Maya January 2008
Here is a screen capture of the "Caveman Gibberish" assignment for Digital Animation class. The objective of this assignment was to use the animation tools in Maya (i.e., Graph Editor, Outliner, Dope Sheet, et al) and sync the chosen audio track to the customized action of the character. Timing, key poses, and gesture were important considerations. The character itself is a fully rigged, simple design with its own custom interface. It's named "SimpleGuy" (v135) made by Jeremy Cantor. I set up the environment to be a cave, and made a similarly designed pet dinosaur for the context of the animation. The scenario is the pet dinosaur tracks muddy footprints into the cave and his caveman master is upset. The animation will be posted at a later date.
