Kuiper & Huygen

Project.

Kuiper & Huygen is Yond Studio’s first fully self-produced series, born of an experiment in building original IP by stretching our storytelling muscles without the guard rails of a client brief.”

Yond first brought me onto Kuiper & Huygen to handle rigging and prepare characters for animation. As the project developed, I was also given the opportunity to animate -bringing those characters to life on screen. This experience allowed me to put both my Moho rigging and animation skills into practice.

 

Rigging.

My first task on Kuiper & Huygen was rigging the two main characters, using turnarounds provided by Yond. In building the rigs, I focused on creating controls that gave the animator everything needed for expressive acting and posing, while also ensuring the characters were fully equipped for voice performance.

Animating.

I was responsible for animating the characters in Moho, making use of its tools to bring them to life. Over the course of the project, I completed 17 scenes - taking each one from initial blocking all the way through to finished animation.
