Description/
This was a fun two-part project. One, develop a versatile rig, with Kenneth Krueger, for animators to work with. Two, animate complex three-dimensional moves and challenging vector graphics. The rig consisted of at least four different angles of the hero character. A series of expressions and scripts, Joystick & Sliders / Duik, aided the building of the rig. I personally animated about 1/3 of the shots for the 30-minute episodic film.

Joysticks 'n Sliders were used to build the head. Duik was used to help build the body.
