Circus Dancing

A character animation piece built around fur simulation and rhythm. Three furry stylized characters perform a choreographed loop of dance, breakdance and acrobatic moves over flat-color stages that shift from white to yellow to magenta. The fur was simulated in Blender with art-directed dynamics so the movement of the hair reads as part of the performance rather than secondary motion, and the lighting was kept clean to keep the character silhouettes in the foreground at all times. The studio handled rigging, animation, hair simulation, lookdev and final render.
