Dialogue

For the final project we were required to create an animation of a character's dialogue. I was super excited to start this project as I've always wanted to animate my characters talking (as silly as that may seem), so I chose to animate one of my original characters named Siege. At the last moment I decided to give him a completely new hairstyle, so I had to kind of wing his hair haha.

For references I looked up male arms, and I also used my own hands as reference (for when he lifts his hand up and points a finger gun). The audio I used was from a clip of a "Behind the Scenes" video of the voice actors of Legend of Korra, and the person speaking is Mako's voice actor, David Faustino.

I think out of all of the projects I had to create for this class, this one is definitely my favorite. Even though I didn't have enough time to finish the animation, create a second pass with cleaner lines and smoother animation, etc, I still love how this project came out as it really shows Siege's goofy personality. Hopefully in the future I can have some of my friends record some audio for me so I can use dialogue with my characters saying whatever they want (instead of having to source audio / dialogue).
