Spumco Bjork Video

I think one of the coolest things in the world would be able to draw and animate a super cartoony and specific looking girl character. There aren't a whole lot of things to reference for this though. I think it's probably hard enough to animate something like a girl dancing, let alone give her a specific design that differs vastly from the sort of generic animated girl you usually see. I think the Spumco Bjork video, however, has a really great example of an animated caricature.
I love that this design has a totally specific body and face. The variety in Bjork's facial expressions are great, too.
I believe that when John K. studied Bjork to figure out how to draw her, he started out with more realistic caricatures, and slowly began to sort of "cartoonify" them. I think you have to be extremely comfortable with constuction and have a very analytical mind to animate an entire video starring a caricature of a unique looking person. It's extremely intimidating to even think about! I wonder if it's even safe to hope I will one day be able to draw like that.
Just recently I saw another really cool and inspiring example of a unique girl design jumping around and dancing...if you haven't seen the new Gorillaz video for "Dare," go check it out! It's really really cool!
