Luca (2021)

Modeling and Rigging of primary character model Alberto Sea Monster, with a focus on setting and managing a production schedule and facilitating strong collaboration.  Had some fun dialing up the adorable factor modeling various caricatured Animal models (Goatfish herd, Tortoise, Seagull, Crabs, Fish) from loose sketch packets, as well as fielding aesthetic rig support contributions to Alberto (human).

Silenzio Bruno! Taking Alberto Sea Monster through the Model and Rig process gave me an opportunity to own the process of planning out the calendar for model / design iteration, rigging and animation test requests to get the character done on budget.

Alberto Sea Monster is a different model from human Alberto! The nuances of their shapes, topologies and performances required we could only share up to a point.
