Spring Show Entry

Turned in my AAU Spring Show entry last sunday.

If the video doesn't work, I have it on Vimeo at http://vimeo.com/11477868

Basically the video shows some of the Animation with the rigs that I did for Bug Crew. So far, I've done a total of aobut 4 rigs. A biped named Lenny, the Mantis Armor that he rides in, a "TinyBot" robot, and a Beetle looking tank. Shows a good range of my rigging skills as far as skinning and mechanical rigging goes. A special thanks to the project director, Luis Nieves, for helping me with overlay of the rigging on top of the animation in the video.

There were some nice rigging entries this year. I'd be surprised if I won, as hyped up as I was working on this video. I regret not showing as much controls this year as I did last year, but I hope showing the rig in animation would look better for people than staring at me showing off every control.
