Rig demo of the new ball character “Jomboo”from Puppeteer Lounge. Character design by Sachina Shakya.
P.S. I keep mentioning the character as a “he”. Well there is a “she” version of the character as well which can be toggled from main character which I forgot to go over. And yes “Amplify” == “Exageration” 😉
Just a reminder to let you all know that only 6 more days remaining till the registration closes for the free open rigging workshop on “How to rig a Polaroid SX-70 Camera” . So hurry up and secure your seat guys 🙂

Here is a quick facial expression sheet for “Charlie” by Sachina Shakya. Want the rig to be super fun to work with, extremely flexible with cartoon like deformation and of course animator friendly! This is gonna make me busy for a little while 🙂

Recently I was doing my routine round up of animation blogs and websites. I came across a post by Keith Lango, who is a great animator and has been a blogger for a very long time, stating his blog post and all the online resources that he shares to the community will no longer be updated. So he mentions in his final post that he is retiring from animation blogging and online animation teaching.
I have been a great fan of Keith Lango and I thank him for all the hard work he have done, sharing his valuable knowledge to the online animation community. His blogs and videos will be a great resource for generation to come and remembered. I personally believe his online archive is an epic library!
I wish him all the best with his endeavors and thanking him for being a great animator 🙂
