Raccoon Project

This is the culmination of almost an entire year of work, with just an hour or so each day available to animate this. I learned so much with this project, it was amazing to see how it evolved during that time. This was originally just going to be one continuous shot, with the character moving back and forth on and off screen. I am quite pleased how well the physics for the tail movements came out, I was worried about this the most, having never done an anthropomorphic character before. Seeing the final project is just so fulfilling. It felt like climbing a giant mountain for weeks, only to ski down it in a matter of minutes, but the ride is totally worth it.

Big thanks to my family for helping be references for this project, i couldn't have done this without you. Final project used around 1950 slides, at various FPS speeds (8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30; all divisible by 60). Artwork was done in PowerPoint, animation was done in Pencil2D.

P.S. : if you can guess the inspiration for this project, make a guess in the comments below.
