Prehistoric Nautiloid - Rayonnoceras Espeyense

Commissioned by the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, I was tasked with breathing life back into this extinct 2 million year old sea beastie (lovingly called 'Ned' throughout the project). This sequence (edited version seeen here) loops on a plasma screen next to the actual shell fossil within the museum. This is the first time I've animated a 'creature' before; especially one with tentacles but loved working old Neddy. The whole sequence took roughly four weeks.
