00:22-00:34 EA MADDEN NFL — Animation work created while interning for the Madden Team at EA Sports. The initial shot is the finished sideline interaction animation, followed by a breakdown of the work I did to clean up the mocap data. This involved making sure that all feet were on the ground plane, heads and wrists were rotated the correct way, actions and hand placement made sense, and there was no clipping happening when the players interacted. All cleanup and animation was done in Motion builder.
