Rigging took place literally alongside animation. As soon as I got the rig, I’d send it out to my animators and they would immediately start using it. It was probably the most stressful part of the process mainly because I did not have a face rig at all until probably the 7th week of the quarter and my film was due the 10th week. It held up my animators and being that close to deadline with a film that is based on facial animation was extremely stressful! But I somehow made it! (I still can’t believe it!) Below are some of the rigging critiques I did for my amazing riggers: Sumit Banerjee who did the body rigs, Mickael Olivieri who did the Cat’s facial rig, and Armando Brown and Makaela Davis who worked together to save me on the Dog’s face rig! It was intense to say the least! All critiques (except for one) were done by me.
