The Early Childhood Innovation Network

The wonderful folks over at The Hatcher Group brought me back on to help animate this informative video for ECIN.

For this project, I really tried to focus on creating fun, engaging character animation paired with dynamic scene transitions to help the video feel like it was rolling right along. It's been a blast working on this project, and I was thrilled to be apart of such a great team.

Character Rigging

For this project, I delved into the world of rigging using the Limber plug-in, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. Out of all the AE rigging tools I've explored (read: all of them), Limber has easily become my top pick. What really sets it apart for me is its seamless transition between Forward Kinematics and Inverse Kinematics. With just a few clicks, I could effortlessly manipulate limbs, freeing up valuable time to concentrate the creative bits of animation - having fun with the characters. My best work happens when everything is running smoothly, and thanks to Limber, rigs are one less thing to worry about. 🚀
