Character Animation

While others where actually out there in the snow, I was at home, animating these stunning tricks for the “Sochi2014: Ski Slopestyle” App by Bongfish. I had to do a lot of research to figure out those rotations and I often had to fight the animation curves to get them smooth. One thing that helped me a lot was an extra controll I created for the center of gravity that I could move around, according to the pose, and use as a pivot for the rotations.
