In the end, I set up a cube that would act as a stage for my character, set up some lights, a camera movement around him, and then, as one can see in the background—I have some animated versions of the character behind him with different mocap animations I downloaded from Mixamo.
The lighting was kept simple using a single spot light pointed at the orbiting, revealing different angles of the character. The Mixamo animations consist of breakdancing, saluting and the character doubling over and hiding his face. For now, this simple presentation serves as a satisfying conclusion to this character’s journey from a rough model to a realized, animated figure.
