3D process gifs

Creating a 3D animated gif is probably the most daunting prospect for me within this brief, as working in 3D is not something I am necessarily used to, therefore looking at other work I think will play a large part in giving me ideas as to how I could technically create and animate characters.

This gif stood out to me simply just because of the silly and playful animation of this character. The movement created here would obviously be laborious and difficult to achieve but it does pay of well. As well as this the simplicity of the background I think is also something to consider - as it means the focus remains on the character's movement across the screen.

These gifs present a lot of different ways of creating 3D animations - using existing objects, creating characters out of paper, and then full on model making with plasticine and felt. In terms of the technical creation of the character I think I would value the hedgehog more as it obviously has undergone the most complicated process. This is not to say that the other two gifs have less value to them, its just that I think because this brief is focusing on character, the actual crafting of these, as apposed to the extent of what is being animated, is maybe more important? Something prevalent in all these gifs (similarly to the top one) is also the consideration of composition and colour within the frame, I need to remind myself that alike to any other still or moving image this is very important.
