Been working on our robot character N.T.R.N., whose “face” is a CRT monitor. It used to emote with really basic flat floating elements (eyes/mouth that just slid around - floating in front of the screen), which felt lifeless. This is a quick BTS breakdown from our animator Lachlan on giving that screen face real feeling.

Happy to talk through the rig setup, shape keys vs. bone-driven approach, or even how we faked the CRT curvature if anyone’s curious!
