New Peter Animation Tests for "STAGED"

The main character, Peter, for Dennis' shortfilm "Staged" has had a major overhaul.  A few much needed improvements to the character design, model, and rig has gotten all of us majorly pumped.  Here are three animations I did using the new model, and rig as a sort of test drive.  Dennis and I both did some Gnomon tutorials to gear up for the performance we want to create with this character.  The test animations are straight forward and consist of a basic walk cycle, a cartoony series of jumps, and a piece of spoken dialogue.  My intention was to create three short animations with good body mechanics, strong silhouette, and lip sync that matched the spoken dialogue.
