Building Movement-based personality for 3d animated abstract characters

The imagery feels so fluid and almost procedural. The characters were much more gestural in nature because much of their presence was from their motion itself. So instead of focusing on the character sculpt to suggest corresponding personality, the animation production and mocap studio chose to focus more on the movement fluid. And considering this as the best way to express character personality.

Fundamentally, musical element dominates how all things should be designed in the projection. In other words, it’s musical theme based content, thus, it was all about getting the personality from music and character movement. Every aspect from the characters to the colors had to have a flow. It all came down to rhythms making and syncing.
