Safari Surfer Characters

Project type

Character Animation / Motion Design

Role

Lead Animator/ Motion Designer

Software

Adobe CC - After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illutraitor

For this project I created hundreds of highly detailed, loop-able animations for a cast of quirky animal surfers, each with custom rigs, personality-driven cycles, and stylized motion. Led animation and rigging workflows across dozens of characters, delivering a polished, modular animation library for use in digital collectibles and motion-driven campaigns.
