In this course we will take the rigged Infiltrator and bring it to life with animation. We?ll animate the Infiltrator with a production focus, using storyboards and an animatic to assist us in making sure our animation adheres to specific instructions. We?ll get into character development and learn how to go about creating performances that are convincing and, at the same time, entertaining. We?ll even do a little rigging and learn how to work with Maya?s robust and very efficient Referencing system to update the control rig and, in turn, automatically have those changes update in our animation file saving us plenty of time.
