Hello everyone, hope you're doing well. I wanna give a quick update with the SXSG animation.
Splining for the character animation is done, with the lip sync being the only thing left to finish. Lighting will come after along with rendering and comp :)

“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”
― Toni Morrison
