The primary purpose of this animation was to learn how to animate and manipulate rigged characters in Maya. Using a popular rig called 'Morpheus', I customised the appearance to create a likeness to Jerry Seinfeld as well as customising clones of Morpheus to be background characters. I modelled the clothing, hair, props, and environment. The coffin was modelled by Benjamin Forster.
