Katie- Character Puppet- auto key framing



This is my character design for Katie, I have animated the character by using auto key framing on After Effects, I imported a photoshop file retaining the layer sizes in a composition, from there I used keyboard shortcuts such as "W" for Rotate, "Y" for Pan Behind Tool, which allowed me to change the centre point of the layers for different parts of the characters body. I used auto key framing and moved the centre point of the layers and then rotated them to animate the body parts, I found this technique easier than the puppet technique however it does make the movements quite robotic.
