3D Animation

I am familiar with using Maya to animate with premade rigs. I have also rigged and animated a premade mesh in Cinema 4D. I like to use reference footage in the background to get the fluid movement I want. Sometimes, I record my own reference footage of myself performing the action I want to animate. Once I have the base movements finished, I will then build upon them, adding more exaggeration or adjusting a few keyframes to achieve the feel I want.
