A closer look at the character work behind a video series created for Achmea Pensioenservices, in collaboration with Visual Punch.
For this project, I developed a character rig with greater mobility and more precise control, especially during turns. This allowed for smoother transitions, more natural poses, and a wider range of movement throughout the series.
Due to publication restrictions, I’m unable to share the complete animations in their original context. However, this character reel offers a glimpse into the rigging and animation work created for the project. For Topicus, I helped bring the company’s mascot to life through character animation, in collaboration with Visual Punch Studio. Created in collaboration with Studio Vibe, this animated video for StoreKeeper involved my contributions to the art direction, storyboard development, and animation. This reel showcases my expertise in character rigging and animation in Adobe After Effects, using Duik Angela and Limber to create flexible rigs, expressive performances, and natural movement.
