@Bristol Museum Fitness Exhibit

Part of the Fitness exhibit @Bristol Museum.
And is used as a larger than life size projection that kids can exercise with.
My brief was to animate a man without skin (so we can see his muscles) doing aerobics.
This was achieved by capturing Mocap data of a dancer performing the routine(at Bournemouth Uni) and then applying this to the rigged 3D CGI model. The hands, jaw and eyes were then key-framed by hand.
The only issue with this process was that my dancer was only 5.2ft and had a small frame wheras the muscle man was 6ft and strapping. This meant his arms kept moving his ribs so the shoulder bones are tweaked slightly to stop this happening.
During experimentation with textures and lighting I produced 'wet' looking muscles. My client rejected this as it looked like
a creature from Hellraiser doing the Jane Fomder workout!
