Recently I was asked by a friend and an old teacher from MELIES to be responsible for the Rigging and Setup in his new upcoming short film, "Laços".
This is the first one that I finalized, and since it's my first quadruped Rigg, it involved some studying on dog anatomy and facial expressions.
For the extras, Fernando only told me that since Pepita is a very skinny and hungry dog, it would be nice to have some controls that could make her "shake" (from cold or fear). You can see the use of these controls in the below video, and I also added an automatic procedural control for the tail animation.
Production Time : 10 hours.
