For my Innovations project I decided that I wanted to do a detailed study of animation. In the past I have looked at human animation, but have not ever done any animal animation. I therefore wanted to study something that was unlike anything I had looked at before. I did not want to animate anything that had been animated realistically many times before, such as a feline or even a dinosaur.
I decided that a polar bear was an ideal thing to study, as although there have been famous animations of them in both two and three dimensions, they have usually been used as a cute and cuddly image to sell something as in the case of the Coca Cola ads. I wanted my animation to be a real interpretation of the way an actual polar bear might go about its daily business.
