Animation & Motion Capture

Monkey Wrench Studio has been creating custom characters for over 10 years for a variety of projects and clients. These range from human characters to cartoons, and bipeds to quadrapeds. We hand animate characters along with using motion capture technology when requested. Our animations also include inanimate objects and cameras for cinematics, commercials and videos as well.

Below are some examples of our most recent animation projects. You can find more on Page 2.

Motion Capture & Lip Synch Character

This character was created to be the signature avatar for one of our clients. Monkey Wrench Studio was responsible for the character creation, rigging, weighting, utilizing motion capture from Motion Analysis, additional hand animation and lip synch to speech. This is one of 30 animations the character performs.

Modeling, Rigging, & Hand Animation

Monkey Wrench Studio artists and affiliates were commissioned to create and animate several dinosaurs for the "Dinosaurs Alive" exhibit that launched in March 2008 at the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, AL. Below are a few examples of dinosaurs that were used in a game for the exhibit.
