Here is two demo clips of my thesis which is a study about the perception of crowd animation.

The topic is The Effect of Characters’ Locomotion on Audience Perception of Crowd Animation. I used Golaem, a crowd animation plugin for Maya to make the demo videos.

In each scene, there are two identical characters. The methodology is to let audience watch the video and check how long they can identify the two identical models (if they can find). Then compare the time audience have spent on different scenarios. As a result, different locomotions of characters might affect audience's perception.
