End Year Exam Assignment: A Phone Call

This is the assignment I made for my 4th semester exam. We had 4½ days to create a 5-7 second shot of a man in front of a computer, getting a phone call, and reacting to it. We had the choice between several pieces of "imaginary" dialogue which could be said in the phone; I chose one, where my main character is told he has won the lottery.
We also had to create a backstory for our character, which would influence the acting in the shot. My character is a man with money problems who works in an office by day and as a wrestler by night to make ends meet.
I am pleased with the result and it was a fun short shot to work on.

Acting: Interaction

This is my last one-shot based school assignment. In it, I had to make two characters interact, doing either a handshake, a hug or a kiss; I went for the latter. It could still use a lot of polish but if I chose to put in extra work, it will probably have to wait, since I'm currently fed up with this particular transgender abomination of a rig. Next up, actual movie making! :D

Dialogue Acting

This was an exercise in acting to dialogue. It is my first attempt ever at both lip-sync and responsive interaction between two characters in 3D animation. Though it could have been more polished, I am very pleased with the result and the overall animation style (realistic yet toony enough to fit the characters) is what I was aiming for.
