New project Making 3D characters!

the brief for this project is quite cool. we have to create a short animation with a comedy type character aimed at 4 to 14 year olds in a sort of Disney/pixar way the character has to be fairly original and expressive with personality. the expressions, personality and movements of the character are more important in this project then the over all look of the rest of the animation. for this project we have been asked to watch documentaries as well as people in the street so we can accurately reproduce body language and facial expressions.
