Personal project: "Dancing Mr.J" - Stylized Facial anatomy performance

© 2020 by Shraga Weiss
​
With "Mr. J" I explore stylized facial anatomy of a music hero of mine. Mick Jagger.
​
The challenge was to create an animated short from start to finish utilizing an original facial animation pipeline exploring the facial deformation of a stylized character.
​
The project included all the elements of a major studio project from character design to modeling, original facial rigging, animation, hair grooming & simulation, lighting etc. and was rendered using cloud rendering.
