Puppet Tool

 
This was my first time trying the "puppet tool" on After Effects! I created the cartoon guy in Illustrator and animated him in After effects. It's kind of hokey because I didn't spend a lot of extra time creating the guy and making him look great because I just wanted to try it out. (There is no sound, just so you don't think anything's wrong with your volume).

The puppet tool is pretty neat because you can take anything you create in Illustrator and place joints on it in After Effects where you would have them in a "puppet" so to speak and then move them around from frame to frame to make them animate.

I hope to get more practice in and get better at it.  For now, here's this little dude.
