Hi, I'm Rafiu Uthman 👋 I'm a 2D animator who turns children's storybooks into animated read-aloud videos bringing flat illustrations to life with character motion, word-synced narration, and music. My process: I take the original book art, separate every character and background piece in Photoshop, then animate everything in After Effects 👍 👍 :adding subtle movement, syncing text to the voice so kids can follow along, and adding music to set the mood. I currently work solo, handling the full pipeline from start to finish. Check out my Maddie, A Little Ghost with a Secret project below to see this process in action 👇
