Playblast of my 'Character Demo'. I animated this to show a more exaggerated side of the Giant.
I used this super rough animatic for figuring out estimated timing for movements for my 'character demo' animation. In the final animation, the first slide was scrapped as I felt it was too similar to the Giant's entrance in my final animation.
I wanted the shadows of the surrounding trees to fall realistically over the model so, after I finished setting up the lighting, I started placing cylinders that wouldn't be visible on-screen, but would cast a shadow over the Giant as he moved by.
I looked closely at the shadows in the photo, and tried to replicate the lighting and the softness/hardness of the shadows.
I feel that I achieved the desired effect, with the denser placement of shadows closer to the camera creating a more looming and menacing feel.
