About the Project

Each project shown was custom designed for a social media or web commercial. From customizing characters, designing background and props, and recording sound effects, this was a top to bottom animation project.

2D Rigging

Character Rigging

I am an expert animator in 2D rigging. Utilizing Reallusion animation software, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro I have produced multiple television shows, commercials, and video segments.

Rigging is the process of creating a skeleton for a 3D model so it can move.

Skeletal animation is a technique in computer animation in which a character is represented in two parts: a surface representation used to draw the character and a hierarchical set of interconnected bones used to animate the mesh.

Sprite Composition

Each section of the body in a 2D animation has different sprites. For a hand there may be 12 different sprites. For an eyebrow there may be 50 different sprites to show different emotions. I am an expert sprite graphic designer for 2D animation.

Compositing

Compositing

I am an expert animator in compositing.  Compositing is the combination of multiple layers of images or video elements to render a final still or moving image. Utilizing Reallusion animation software, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro I have layered recorded video, animation, and graphics to create one production.

Below you will see examples of live-action backgrounds used on animation that has a green screen or chroma key in order to place the animation onto the video.

 

Green Screen | Chroma Key

Below is animation with a green screen background. In order to put this animation onto a live-action video we use Ulta Key within our video editing software to add the characters onto a new background. This is used for movies, game development and so much more.

Animation on Live-Action

You can now see the previous video of the animation running on green screen was taken out. Green was taken from the video and the animation was added to the intro of this Live-Action Music video for children.
