Initial Idea Creation
The initial idea of making dinosaur animations was from watching the Jurassic park films and seeing some animations from TikTok by a person called jeananimate. He is a very talented artist who started creating animations of some dinosaur animations and has now gone into actually making a game for it.
This is what has inspired me to create my very own animations for a dinosaur. It is also something i haven’t really had any experience in so creating, rigging and animating my own dinosaur would be a big step for progressing as an animator.
I chose to make my character the T-rex due to the pure amount of joy i have when i see a T-rex appear on screen, ever since watching Jurassic park. I have always wanted to create something with a T-rex before and this has given me the perfect opportunity.
