Tangle & Whisper: Casefiles | 2D Fan Animation
Category
2D Animation • Fan Animation • Storytelling
Description
Tangle & Whisper: Casefiles is a fan-made 2D animated short inspired by the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. The project follows Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf in an original scene that focuses on character interaction, cinematic storytelling, and expressive animation.
Using Adobe Animate for animation and CapCut for editing and audio synchronization, I created a polished sequence that combines dynamic character movement, scene composition, and sound design. My goal was to capture the personalities of these established characters while practicing professional animation workflows and improving my storytelling techniques.
Throughout production, I focused on smooth animation, clear staging, expressive poses, lip-sync where applicable, timing, and editing to create an engaging viewing experience.
This project is a non-commercial fan animation created for portfolio and educational purposes. Sonic the Hedgehog, Tangle, and Whisper are the property of SEGA.

Funny!
Using Midjourney as part of a client animation workflow
I’ve been using Midjourney to develop scenes and characters for a children’s animated music video, then bringing the still imagery into Kling for animation and CapCut for the final edit.
One of the biggest challenges has been maintaining visual consistency from scene to scene while still responding to client revisions — character scale, expressions, clothing, environment and continuity all matter once individual AI generations become part of a larger story.
It’s been an interesting reminder that generating the image is really only the beginning. The bigger creative challenge is turning those generations into something that works as a cohesive finished production.
Here are a few frames from the project and how they developed.
The consistency part is definitely one of the biggest challenges with AI animation. Getting individual shots to look good is one thing, but keeping the characters, environments and story consistent across the whole video is where the real work happens. Great breakdown.
