Project for M.A. in Computer Animation & Visualisation, Bournemouth University

I modelled and animated the character using the Pascal-like programming language CGAL.
For the 1993 Degree programming was required for everything; rotations, translations, scaling, lighting.
The intent in programming the animation was to achieve traditional animation-like squash and stretch.
My original storyboard concept design for the project, below, was later painted over by Maeve McCarthy, RHA.
Below are stills and a clip from my student film.
