Manon 「STREET FIGHTER 6」Animation『Entrance』&『SACA』

I HAD to do the perfect catwalk for the most Fashionable French character: Manon !
I started by helping Manon SACA for the Facial animation (I helped for the same task on Dhalsim and Ken) then when I saw Manon's Admission were ready to start, I asked for it! I had to give one of my task (JP gomen) and I could put my hands on Manon's admission!
Originally, it was only a cat walk and a pose (motion capture base).
But you know me: I was a model and did a lot of catwalk, and I love Voguing (type of dance inspired by "Vogue" magazine poses). I had to put my knowledge plus my Parisienne twist.
I modified the walk to have a top model walk (straight legs, hips bouncing, chin up...), created a kiss to the camera, all arrogant eyes, elegant hand poses, the turn to each other... Me! It really shows how motion capture can be only a rough base (normal walk, a basic rhythm for the scene) and from this base you can create something completely new and authentic.
I finished the first pass so fast, the team was impressed and everybody loved it. Art director loved the "bisou" and even asked to bring both Manon closer. This was my fastest approved task on this project (I think in my entire career actually).
Well, I was way to inspired !!

Facial: No motion capture base for both Entrance and SACA, always handmade key framing!
