New Guy
March 2019 - April 2019
New Guy is a short 3D animation about a newcomer trying to find his footing in the world of weightlifting. This film was inspired by my own interest in Olympic weightlifting, which helped my correctly pose the characters lifting the bar.
Up to this point, most of my animation experience had been in 2D, and I undertook this project with the desire to get out of my comfort zone and expand my skillset.
New Guy was a solo project, and I was responsible for all aspects of its creation apart from the character rigs. The New Guy character was based on the public Malcolm 2.0 rig from AnimSchool.com. The Big Guy character was licensed from Dietrich Magnus of M_RIGS.com.
