In this reel, I focused on creating high-quality 3D animation by filming my reference footage to understand body mechanics and performance deeply. I applied core animation principles, such as timing, spacing, and arcs, to bring believable weight and fluidity to each movement. I started by blocking in stepped mode and refined the animation by splining for smooth transitions. I paid close attention to lip-sync, matching mouth shapes and facial expressions to dialogue for expressive, character-driven results. Each shot reflects my understanding of overlap, follow-through, and combining technical skill with performance to bring characters to life with clarity and emotion.
