This is a little spot we made at Fluorfilms for Discovery H&H.
I was in charge of all the character rigging and animation. It was a very fun project to work in and the FKIK script was extremely useful again, specially for the legs, arms and pedals.

Here is a little video showing the anme files and how they work:


And here is a little gif I made just for fun. Using a switch layer and brushes I created frame by frame smears for some movements, this effects are not in the finished video, but I think it looks cool :)

The project was illustrated, designed and composed by Fluorfilms, the rotating tricycle of second 9 was made in 3d.

FANTASTIC. I love it. You really are amazing :)
Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes video too - you make things look so 3D.

Inspiring as always, thanks!

Deceptively simple, cute and engaging! You can tell a story with just a few lines -- it's quite a talent.

That Tricycle is now officially at the top of my Christmas wish list ! Does they make them for adults?

Great animation by the way :D

What a delight. You really get to work on the best projects. And what magic was going on with that wheel tread pattern?

As always your work is inspiring yet intimidating. What would take me three months to still not get right you seem to belt out in a matter of minutes.

Bloody Magic Selgin! Taking on the tough jobs and shining.
Bikes and cyclists are notoriously hard to do, you made it look easy.
