Danielle and Fred Go Walkies

Danielle and my Hippo character, Fred, go out for walkies as a part of my Character Animation brief at Uni. The aim was to have the animal strain on the lead unexpectedly to interesting effect for the human character.

This was a real challenge for me, the background, hippo and woman are on three separate layers in Ernest and it was intensely difficult to time them together so that it worked. I think this still needs touching up, but there is no more time for it this week as I have to move on to the next task! Enjoy.
