Watch me act - A fully hand animated "mood board" for an interactive character

Continuing from last time, where all the set pieces were animated (a gate and some ravens) to set the stage for the final piece of the puzzle: Réa, a fantastical character that you will have conversations with. What you see in the video is a type of "mood board", where Réa can act out numerous poses, to better reflect how they feel during conversations. It's a helpful tool to give you insight into their personality, and liven up the otherwise stale discussions; over a long period of time.

Trivia: The making of this set took over a month to create and was entirely animated by hand (no simulation used for the attire), and faced numerous hurdles along the way (which will be discussed in an upcoming blog post). One of those affected the release of the video itself as well, because the upload was cancelled right before the scheduled release; which was supposedly a few days ago last week.
