Netto – Character animation

Client: Netto / bEpic GmbH
I had a great experience working with the guys at bEpic, as a 2D lead animator on a Netto/Payback commercial. My role was to animate the 2D faces and arms that then had to be tracked to the assigned products.

In order to combine different movements, I created different rigs for each part of the face that I could then animate with a minimum amount of keyframes, through a console that I adjusted according to the gestures to be animated.
This whole setup was done with the help of the “Duik Angela” plugin, inside After Effects.
