Wishful Shrinking

"Wishful Shrinking" is a 3-minute animated short created in the spring of 2004 as a semester-long project at Cornell's Advanced Animation class with a team of four other very talented individuals.  While creating the animation, I learned storyboarding, character design, and editing an animatic as well as in-depth Maya features, including complex polygonal modeling, blend shapes, rigging, skinning, basic MEL expressions, lighting, animation, paint effects, rigid body dynamics, and batch rendering.

Here are some screenshots of Winston, the avaricious body trainer, whom I designed, modeled, rigged and animated.
More renders and screenshots will be forthcoming, so check back soon!
