Binge needed some new Channel Idents made for the revised look of their Comedy Channel. ‘Cfer’ is the brand mascot/personality of the channel so animating him in his ‘likeable’ style was our goal.

Geoff and Tristan came up with some concepts for a few comedy sketches and took them to storyboarded stage. Geoff created the animation using a mix of performance motion capture and traditional keyframe animation. Tristan developed the environmental style and boxing glove sculpt.

Motion Capture is an amazing way to bring a level of humanity to an animated character within a timeframe that would not long ago have been unrealistic. It opens up some pretty exciting possibilities.
