CHARACTER ANIMATION
For this project, I was responsible for the animation of all characters seen in the video. This was six characters in total, all completed in Adobe Character Animator. Using puppet animation these characters were created in Photoshop and rigged in Character Animator by Ruairidh Brunton. To complete various scenes, the rigs needed additional props and actions which were developed as production went on.
FINAL VIDEO
After completing the character animation, each scene was assembled in After Effects, adding additional effects, backgrounds, camera movements and props, and then fully assembled in Premiere Pro where sound effects and color grading were added.
