- a - I animated this tree, as well as the bees, flowers, and lozenges. A combination of keyframed and procedural animation.
- b - I rigged this frog. I was handed a model of the frog sitting down. In preproduction it was decided that only the head would move. However, the client changed their minds and I had to build a complete body rig despite the sitting pose. I was able to make it robust so that it could be animated successfully.
- c - I set up and animated all the background elements in After Effects.
- d - I set up a dynamics solution for the water ripple, and procedurally animated the reeds, grasses, and background lillypads.
