Corvus and She-Demon,
Heretic II
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Raven Software
1998

Heretic II is of course is a very well known game. I was the lead animator on this project. We created 6 minute-long movie for the intro and end game. It is a combination of motion capture, keyframe and extensive (by 1996-97 standards) lipsynch work. Motion capture was provided by the House of Moves in LA, based on reference live footage Creat provided. One of the most successful episodes (and my favorite one) is where Corvus comes across She-demon and she attacks him.

Corvus was animated using motion capture data (extensively), while other movie characters (Disparil, Morkalavin and Fire Imps) are pure key frame… She-Demon is a combination of both techniques.
