The Big Lebowski Animation - "I'm the Dude!"

This is an animation I made to practice some character animating skills. It's a scene from the movie "The Big Lebowski", one of my favourite movies of all time.
Animation by Michael Habjan.

Created with Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects. Using an audio clip from "The Big Lebowki" by the Coen Brothers, starring Jeff Bridges.

You're giving Pixar a run for its' money.

you are an amazing modeler and texture artist. However in this particular scene you fell prey to the bane of character acting peices. over animating the lip synch lol. Remember, only animate the phenomes of the mouth synch. don't try to capture every single syllable becasue in the english language we slur our words. Your body mechanics were very good for realistic animation. good job!

A little more work and this would be a great piece for a demo reel. I'd watch an animated Lebowski show. Perfect idea for adult swim...

"No body messes with the Jesus" would be a great scene to do
