Character animation - Piggy

These are storyboards that were later made into a short animatic for a character animation project at university.

The brief was I had to produce a character and animate a 30 second short for a video ringtone. With a few different genres of music clips to choose from i decided to sample one that sounded very country/western and from that i designed the 'Piggy' character, which I later developed into a piggy bank to add character.

The story is that the Piggy trips over and loses its coin and gives chase. It finally corner it but the coin ends up rebounding off a rock and is lodged up its nose. The poor Piggy finally sneezes it out and just as he passes out from exhaustion, the coin bounces back in.
