Update on giraffe

I'm writing a post about my memorial day weekend and part of my weekend was finishing up the paint and texture of my giraffe and I thought it would be fun to show you the "finished" product.

I put finished in parenthesis because I still have to rig the little guy and make a 15-30 second animation of the guy. Oh...maybe you can help... 

Isn't he just way way way too cute? 

 

...This is what I have to do for my project. Since I am a film major I have to incorporate film into the project. meaning I can't just animate a world for the giraffe to walk around it. I have to film the background and then place the animated character in the movie. For instance if I want to start with the little guy sitting on the bed I have to film and imaginary character sitting on the bed with my camera then place the animated character into the film or if I want to track him walking down a hall, I have to film an imaginary object walking down the hall and then placing the giraffe in the hall. Is that making sense?

I have to make a cause and effect movie. like the giraffe steps on a rack and it comes and hits him in the face. Do any of my 5 faithful readers have an idea of something cute and fun?
