Hey there. On this post I'll show some loops i had to animate for a publicity intervention for Rexona. I worked as a freelance on this job, for the agency Cubo CC, and was responsible for all the character animation. On this piece the user could have some interaction with the character, who is the football (soccer) player Neymar. Therefore he has to always go back to his default kick-ups at the end of each action. Bellow there's the animation that represents the transition. You know... when you click the little banner on the right side of the web page, and it enlarges to it's final format. Neymar kind of freezes at the end, but on the final piece he actually goes out of the frame, that's why he stops.

Now that the screen reaches it's final format, Neymar gets into frame again and he keeps doing these kick-ups while the is no interaction from the user.

On this interaction a ball comes straight to him and he hit the ball with his head to the camera.

Now a demolition ball comes to Neymar and he defends himself by kicking it away.

Here some dummy are about to run for the ball, and Neymar gotta dribble them in. while waiting for the right action to be taken, he glances at the situation like this:

And if the user properly interacts he will do this:

Acting

This is an acting That I've made.

I've used an audio from the movie Hook, and had a lot of fun while making a bar of it.

The characters used are both the morpheus rigg made by the animator Josh burton (http://journal.joshburton.com/)

Hope you enjoy it.
