in the days before cameras this would've become a legendary local cryptid. in the 21st century we're calling it Jimothy
A unique raccoon was spotted in Seattle
A raccoon named Jimothy with a rare short spine syndrome was roaming the streets, stealing food from trash cans and frightening locals with his unusual appearance.
At first, residents were startled by the strange-looking animal, but he later became a local celebrity, with people even making memes and drawings of him.

A test of animating in different styles! This is for an upcoming masterclass I'm giving at BFX Festival.
5 hours worktime for these tests. One more to go! #animation

Fantastic example!
It might be tempting to spin from the hip controller, but for a physically accurate spin the body would rotate around its center of gravity (COG) - which for someone curled up actually places it outside the body and roughly in the center of the curled 'ball'

Testing off-axis projection demo.
Basic scene layout in Blender

Three.js for engine
MediaPipe for face tracking
Next step is to add a character you can move around in the environment

One of the most fun parts of animating for me is pushing the poses on anim layers, beyond what I had initially imagined would look good. Iteration is key! #animtip
