Cengage Education
About This Project
I had the opportunity to put together an animated video explaining the importance of education, especially today. This video was a company-wide message for the great people at Cengage. I designed (with the exception of the characters - the character designs were from an outside illustrator) and animated all of the illustrated assets in this video. I also video edited the entire video.

Test Animations
You don't always need a rigging tool like Duik to animate a character. Depending on how complex (or simple) you plan on having the character animation to be, sometimes all it takes is finessing some keyframes right in the shape layer.
