parody commercial
Character Rigging & Animation
For this parody-style commercial inspired by Star Wars, I was responsible for the full creation and animation of a custom character based on Darth Vader. I began by producing original character drawings, which I later used to build a 2D rig using deformers.
To achieve the characteristic lightsaber effect, I made use of node systems and layered effects, allowing for a stylized yet readable glow animation. Throughout the process, I applied basic animation principles and worked with animation curves to enhance timing, spacing, and weight, giving the character more personality and presence on screen.
Audio Recording & Editing
The villain’s voice was recorded and edited using Audacity, where I applied filters and effects to replicate the iconic tone of the Star Wars antagonist, adding authenticity and humor to the parody.
Software
This project was created using Toon Boom Harmony, where I built the rig, animated the character, and applied effects such as the lightsaber glow
