Jump Drive and Wail!

Some info about the project


"Jump Drive and Wail!" is the story of a janitorial robot with a moustache who aspires to be a mucisian. Unfortunately, due to his lack of breath, this dream seems unreachable. That is until he backs against the wall, rerouting the steam through his mouth.

This was the final assignment entitled "Robot Theatre" for my Animation 2 class at Drexel University; here we learned to model, rig, and animate a full character. Robots were chosen to allow for errs in animation to seem more natural, as a robot is likely to have stiff movements. Texturing was a lot of fun and scope control allowed for a much less stressful production cycle when compared to previous projects. Sound was added later as part of an assigment for a post-production class I had the following term.
