Learn how to navigate the complex art of animating creature fights, as demonstrated by animator Stephen Cunnane. In this 5-hour workshop, Stephen walks through three shots of a fight sequence between two different species of creatures. From gathering references to coordinating each punch, he breaks down, step by step, what artists need to know before creating intense fight scenes using Maya.
Starting from staging the fight choreography, artists will discover how to use references and storyboarding techniques to plan out how a fight unfolds in a sequence. Then, moving into Maya, he demonstrates how to prepare and block in the fight. Using key tools and creature rigs, Stephen shows how to leverage specific techniques for a more accurate and effective combat scene.
Throughout the workshop, Stephen demonstrates a professional balance of art with technical knowledge, following animation principles for expressive performance with creatures, and getting creative with Maya’s tools. By completing this workshop, artists will understand how to approach challenging animation shots professionally.
