The Shape of Water: Animator

For Guillermo del Toro's latest fairytale epic, The Shape of Water, I worked extensively on facial animation for the asset, known to the crew as "Charlie."  Because the mask on the bodysuit for Charlie did not allow facial movement beyond opening the mouth, it was up to the animation team at Mr. X to create facial animations in order to act, emote, and propel the story.
