Finalists Announced - Knight Spider Animation Challenge

For this challenge, Knight Spider was looking a little sad and we wanted you to bring him to life! The brief was to create a 10 second performance video or dynamic poses to really show off Spider Kings attitude and emotions.

The judges had an extremely tough time selecting the shortlist of finalists and were extremely impressed with how everyone handled the challenge.

There are some talented animators that showed some great skills for this challenge.
