A.E. Quickies and Star Wars

I've decided to start something called 'After Effects Quickies'.  Which are little animations that I create from the ground up.  From art, animation and compositing.

For my first, I decided to create a nifty Star Wars animation for all of the amazing fanboys and fangirls out there! In this animation sequence, it's BB-8 scuttling across the surface of Tatooine (Note Jabba's palace!)

This animation took a total of 4 hours to complete, from artwork, rigging (with DuIK of course!), animation and compositing everything in a pseudo 3D layout.

Made a BB-8 animation for all of you wonderful Star Wars fanboys and fangirls. #AfterEffects #riggedwithduik #StarWars #droids #bb8
