Multiple rigs working together to create something bigger than its parts.
I love animating characters. Humans, animals, even inanimate objects. But my favorite type of thing to animate has always been toys. Toys, as in like, Toy Story. Plastic-y little fellas that look like toys, sometimes inside their boxes, too. And I managed to do just that here! There’s four rigs: the two barbie dolls and two human hands picking them up. I wanted to give a Toy Story-ish vibe to the animation by having them pretend to be toys, too. The Barbie rigs are connected to their boxes, and the boxes are connected to the hands’ IK controls.
