The Sword in the Stone Test was a scenario developed as an exercise to challenge both current and prospective animators at Big Idea: Devise and execute a short, complete story idea, wherein a simple biped character encounters and interacts with a sword embedded in a stone. The project's definition was intentionally open-ended, to better gain insight to the artist's level of ability, sense of humor and timing, and approach to the work. I chose to adopt a CG version of the Looney Tunes style, complete with a custom edit of multiple scoring sources adding to the effect. The rigged character is borrowed from the 3-2-1 Penguins! series, but the rest of the production aspects were self-generated.
