Animating the Head

I came up with a very simple idea to animate the head. The animation features a polo flying around the the head model, with the eyes of the model watching it before the model then opens his mouth and puts his tongue out, where the polo then lands and ends with the head swallowing the polo.

This was quite a simple animation to produce, with the rotation tool used for the movement of the eyeballs and the morpher modifier used for the opening and closing of the mouth. The polo simply moves by changing the position for certain keyframes.

The morpher modifier allowed me to create realistic mouth movement by cloning the head, moving the vertices of the mouth to an open position on one model and a closed position on the other model and filling the gap for me.
