Hi, everyone,

Here is a preliminary character animation of self avatar for my new reel this year. Since I love the movie so much, I was thinking what a 3 meters guy can do if I have my own avatar. And here comes some fun ideas in my mind~ How about cool Rap and Basketball

So I made this animation recently to mimic the Nike freestyle series.
I would like to share some snapshots in my first post in this forum. The full animation can be found in the following links, Thanks for watching. Hope you like it!
