In this film, a trio of rusk characters throws a party inside a tree house.
Character Design
Finding the right character design took numerous iterations.
Animation
Each shot I animated also posed its own challenges. Here the central character is mirroring the girl’s dance moves.
In this shot, the characters had to be animated appealingly without colliding with the children.
Here the issue was the boy’s fist being too low for the character’s size. Having the hands meet despite that required some creativity.
