Comedy Roast of David Hasselhoff
:60 sec
2010

Role : 3D Lead Artist + Character Animator

Studio : Royale
Client : Comedy Central

The creative team over at Royale had a fun time with this one. My role was 3D Lead, in charge of modeling, rigging, texturing, and animating the one and only David Hasselhoff as an ass-kicking, life-guard-saving action figure. We mixed photographed elements and action figures with our all 3D Hoff. The animation was stylized with quirks and hiccups to mimic the feel of being touched be a human hand in between each frame. The end result is a herky-jerky, slick plastic, ruggedly handsome little action figure. Although he’s decidedly smaller than the actual Hoff, he packs a mean punch… and a kick, and a punch again.
