Bauhaus Beginnings was a project done as an employee of yU+co, a motion graphics/titles studio in Los Angeles, California under a specialized real-time experiences team. My primary responsibilities were on rigging and animation for all of the characters, with additional support given on tuning the scene to fit the webGL limitations.

All characters were modeled to fit the a single rig in an attempt to reduce the amount of assets we needed to load during the virtual performance. The rigging and animation was done in Blender to make use of the software’s support for the GLTF file format which was used to load into three.js efficiently. Performances were choreographed from an edited section of clips from the Getty Museum’s recording of Schlemmer’s Triadic Ballet. All animation is hand-keyed.

You can view the live virtual performance online here at the Getty’s “Bauhaus Beginnings” vitual exhibit.
