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 (and believe me, I've tried quite a few), 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 on the creative aspect of animation – the acting! Limber not only streamlined the technical process but also injected a hefty dose of fun into the mix. 🚀
