Rick at Rick's
I was inspired by Steve from Luminous Works and his tutorial for Illustrator and 3D. I decided to do something similar in CINEMA 4D by Maxon. Once I had my scene I needed a character and when looking for a Victor Laslo on Sketchfab I instead found a 'Rick' ("Rick Astley" (https://skfb.ly/6RLMw) by Explorian is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/). The dance moves aren't from me, but added to the Sketchfab model using Adobe Mixamo, my first encounter with Mixamo and I was impressed with how easy it was to get a good animation and rigging on the model. I liked the low-res Rick look. I just had to add some pyro too - then put some music together to complete it. This look came from Magic Bullet Looks and specifically a toned down 'Noir' from Mojo II. Thanks to Maximus Raharjo for the last MaxOnColor for my introduction to Mojo. Trying some other looks and camera angles - so there might be another version coming. Music my arrangement of part of the Rick Astley/Scott Aitken Waterman song, Never Gonna Give You Up.
