#3d character animator how to#
There’s so much to analyze in movement, and once you know how to spot the arcs and antics and so on, you’ll find beauty in every motion. After all, 3D animators are actors by proxy! I think a strong performance can really sell a shot and make it memorable, and that can come from the grandest of hand gestures to the quickest of eye darts. Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?Īs a character animator, I’m fascinated by acting. A happy artist is a successful one because true success is satisfaction with one’s own work. What interests you? What keeps coming up in your work? Are you still passionate about it? If yes, emphasize it and have fun! If no, turn your attention inward and find what makes you happy.
So, if you’re struggling to find yourself in your art, take a step back and look at your body of work like a puzzle. Passions are flexible, but your personality is consistent, and that’s how an artist brands themself–and it’s often what recruiters are looking for! That’s okay! As soon as your work/brand starts to feel dull, switch it up. Personality is the fuel for passion, and hooking it up to your work gives you endless inspiration.Īnd when your interests shift, so does your brand. I make sure that my personal interests are tied to my art so that I have the necessary passion to complete them. If you look at any of my work, these things find their way in–well, sometimes it’s as obvious as making my thesis film a musical, but it’s not always that blunt. I pose characters like they’re on a stage, I interpret acting choices with theatrical flourish, and I love a good musical number. Are you drawn to morally rich narratives? Are you fond of one-liners and slapstick comedy? Are you just really into designing steampunk wizards? Whatever it is that you’re passionate about often manifests in all of your projects in some way or another.įor example, I’m a big Broadway fan. I’ve found that success in artistic branding is often tied to two things: passion and personality.Īn artistic brand isn’t something that you sit down and make up on the spot it’s less “What should I be?” and more “What am I naturally?” Look at your work as whole and pinpoint the patterns.
