Maya | Goon Rig

Stonehenge was the final project for one of my animation classes. We were given a set and told to animate a short story while focusing on weight and performance.

One of my scenes involved the Goon Rig diving onto the alter while trying to escape from a collapsing pillar. Before I started animating the scene, I took some reference videos of me diving onto a bed so I could analyze and visualize the movement. Being a soccer goalie in high school, I had a pretty good idea of how he would move, but the opportunity to legally jump on a bed was too good to pass up!
