A little alien visiting, exploring earth.
Going to try learning a to rig, track and composite better with an aim to creating a few short clips showing the little alien interacting with an real environment captured with photo and video.

Good luck. If you discover the secret to easy rigging let me know! I have tried to teach myself a few times but never really cracked it.
Cool character by the way.

Haha, will doThanks.
Having done a lot of rigging in LW over the years IKB from my experience is the way to go. Heres some free videos showing off some of what can be done with it.

Really cool work. If your interested in learning rigging, I recomend Splinegods rigging tutes from the character course. Although some things are done differently in 8.5 & 9.5, Larry does an excellent job of explaining the why's of rigging. Also, check out Larrys IKBoost tutes over at Kurv.

Thanks all
@Dexter2999: Cool I'm definitely thinking of a similar handheld feel as that moby video
Have gone through all the ikboost tutorials by splinegod and tried it out a little and it seems fantastically fast setup and very flexible while animating. I'm a little confused as I've seen it being referred to as a partial ik system and not the same as a full ik system, wondered if someone know what's meant by that.
Update with his ship:
Nice work! Can't wait to see more...
I once had the same idea but I wanted to do it with a russian Cosmonaut. Never went trough with tough...
Keep posting!
Oi!
Full time IK relies specifically on goal objects. The bones or items controlled by the goals dont get any motion data applied to them.
Parttime IK uses the IK for posting but the actual motion data is applied to the bones.
IKB was designed to allow the keyframes to be easily managed ad manipulated.
For fulltime IK LW doesnt have a real easy or efficient way of handling poses, motions clips etc like IKB does.
