Sparky - Animation Tutorial Learning, Research and Development

Visual Development of the character, defining the iconography of their energetic posing, and rounded shape language. The design draws fromon Astro Boy, Mega Man and Kid Cosmic.

This project was a sequence of character animation tutorials aimed at beginner animators, unfamiliar with the basics of Maya, entirely based within the Maya workspace. The project focused on assessing the state of the tutorial learning landscape in computer animation, then respond to this with the development of a creative, and innovative solution. This response was based strongly on fundamentals in MEL scripting, studies on how character animation is taught, and an

assessment of appeal through character and prop design aimed at beginner animators.
