Character Design, Motion Graphics, Animation

A hand-drawn (then digitised) environmental activist/ protester character developed and rigged for use with Character Animator and available as Premium content for subscribers from 15 August 2023. Puppet used for one commercial project in 2019, for a client presentation at a symposium in Italy and a few closed screenings since.

Scroll down for other sample frames below and a static rendering with copy/ text/ titles/ supers on the placards.

Premium content package will include the Character Animator puppet including the layered Photoshop file which contains guide layers and layers with sample frames titles/ supers that can be replaced or modified.

If that sounds too hard, for a small fee I can modify titles/ supers to purpose and will repackage and deliver - see Services tab for more details.
