I got to animate a colourful character for Colin Hesterly.
Here's one of the shots split into 3 sections.
There was a lot to consider:
• The character rig needed to accommodate 5 different angles.
• How to handle the gradients on her hair and legs.
• How to get the character across the screen in unique and creative ways?

This job certainly was challenging. But it helped build creative solutions to accommodate Colin's wonderful designs into animation.
