Realistic creature animation lives or dies on weight, timing, and believable movement. For a T Rex, every step, head movement, and interaction needs to feel grounded and powerful so the creature sells on screen rather than looking animated. Your project is very clear: three realistic Maya animation shots consisting of a T Rex running past camera, eating while walking, and interacting with a person through a bite sequence. The focus is purely on animation, with clean Maya scene files and fast turnaround being critical to the production schedule. My approach would be to begin immediately, blocking out each shot to establish strong motion and screen presence before refining body mechanics, balance, and secondary movement. A playblast would be delivered within the first 24 to 36 hours for review, allowing feedback early in the process and ensuring the final animation is completed within the required three day window. All work would be delivered as organized Maya scene files containing animation only, ready for integration into your VFX pipeline. Do you already have the T Rex rig and shot cameras prepared, or will those assets be supplied alongside the brief so animation can begin immediately??
