What is Character Animation? Character Animation is the process of bringing a character to life through the technology of 3d animation software.

My role as a character animator will be for me to understand how the character's personality and body structure will be reflected in its movements. Animating a character needs to move in such a way that convinces the audience that it is thinking. That it is alive. Looking at its body language, posture, weight, Timing, Facial expressions and its sudden movements....and much move.

I know taking on board this will require a lot of thinking about the character. what is the character going to do next, is it going to jump, run or stare. Learning and using the fundamental principles of Animation will determine how believable the character will be towards the audience.

I Know that it is not going to be a easy ride through the process of animating, but it is a area that i would want to to progress and develop in.
