These are some mouths shapes studies I did for a mockup introductory alphabet lessons for preschool kids. They are supposed to show the differences between vows and consonants. Where, in the vows pronunciation, the air flows out from the mouth without any obstruction.
While consonants, when pronounced are obstructed by lips, tongue or teeth.
The animations were accomplished with vertex groups and morph targets in Blender and Photoshop later on.
Here are some trailers that I prepared for the volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Turma Cósmica (Cosmic Bunch), a set of educational computer games we developed at PUC-PR University in collaboration with Editora FTD.
My duties on this varied through art direction, 2d artist, 3d modeling, texturing, level design and building and sound editor and even some programming here and there and graphic design for the boxes. The whole development team was of about 15 people including interns.
For this year, our efforts are concentrated in making a web version of Turma Cósmica.
