Tanabata - Technical Animator

I worked with 4 others to develop a Wish-Sharing interactive experience for IGDA's eJam 2020.
Tanabata, can be found on itch.io :

My main contribution for the Tanabata project was to rig and animate a character placing one of the paper wishes onto the central bamboo tree. The animation was a new challenge for me, as I have never had to fully rotate or move a character from their starting position, I also have not made a clip exceeding 1-2 seconds, let alone making a 10 second clip. It was an interesting experience and well worth trying.
