Hi Guys!

need some ideas to animate a 3d character, for a broadcast game show, where viewers can sms there answers and win money.

the show features a 3d character.(a mascot), who is supposed to strut in to the screen, and congratulate the winner. the character does not have facial expressions so everything has to be body language!

total animation time is 5 seconds--the animation should portray a cool dude type of character with loads of attitude

need some ideas/references for the animation ? please help.

no facial expression? could you not give it a big fixed grin it would look kind of false then like a propper game show host. I would also from character design point of view have him wear a suit that is just a little too big for him and some kind of perma-tan ( like david dickinson )

maybe an obvious toupe might be good

how about watching some game shows and see how the hosts react to the audience (for example bruce forsyth with his 'the thinker pose' and nice to see you to see you....Nice!)

or how about that false sdness when the contestant looses (awwww too bad, the answer i was looking for was columbo)

finally check out robert deniro in king of comedy. I have only seen a few stills from it but he looks like a total game show host!
