Description:
A CD player turns into a dancing robot. First, he walks like a newborn. Then he does a great imitation of Michael Jackson, James Brown, or Jamiroquai.
CGI animators from Duran modeled and animated the “Transformer.” The 2D animatic usually used for such full 3D projects enriched itself with extracts from videos, movies, and concerts to create a special animated choreography. Great effort was required to create the 3D choreography and dance steps because they did not exist in the reference 2D animatic. The astonishing reality of the 3D objects was created with Maya.
