Bring Rafiki to Life — 3D Character Animation Challenge

Rafiki is moving through an implied space when something small on the ground catches his attention.

He stops.
He investigates.
His body language shifts from curiosity to fascination.
Through subtle movement, facial expression, and timing, Rafiki reacts to a discovery we never see. The animation ends with his response — laughter, awe, or a playful glance to the audience.
