Making Bulle speak
I built Bulle’s 2D rig and animated the character’s poses, eye movements and lip sync. Bulle reacts to the children’s demonstrations as a playful companion.
From drawing to expression
The preparatory drawings set out poses, eye expressions and phonemes. During the early tests, I thinned the outlines at the arm connections to make the rig easier to deform.
