Arctic Animation

I am working on a friends short film at the moment, he has given me several scenes animating this character walking through snow caves. Its been really nice to work on something a little different for a while. The rig was a little bit tricky at first because i hadn't used biped for a while, but i eventually got into it.

Here are a couple of scenes which I animated for the film. The character was meant to be head heavy so i made him fairly bouncy as the cave floors aren't even.

This shot is meant to be showing him trying to get into the cave due to the wind. Im pretty sure this was the final animation. Ignore the random buttons.
