Beep & Tweet
A short, touching film about a robot and a bird. Made with a team of students at Sheridan College.
PROCESS
Toonboom Rigging
I took advantage of ToonBoom’s MasterController tools for this project. Because the character had a very volumetric head, it was necessary to use many head positions (47 to be exact). This helped keep the character always-on model. This is important for a character like Beep, who is a robot and does not use a lot of squash and stretch.
I also added a slider for Beep’s glow mechanism, so that animators could match his glow with the character acting.
