Christiaan Moleman’s Summary
I want to make interactive characters live and breathe, make them not just look nice, but make them interesting to be around... Stories in games are getting better, graphics are getting more detailed, but still there are very few games where the characters feel truly alive.
I want to help do something about that.
See my website (www.ninjadodo.net) for more information and samples of my work.

A range of ideas were discussed highlighting how animation could be used interactively - some of which were explained in an article written for industry magazine Develop (issue 50, May 2005). These ideas were then further demonstrated in a series of short animations.- Activities and Societies:
