Mile Post Media 2D Character Rigging

Mile Post Media / 2024

A logo character, rigged to share the screen.

My role: 2D character rigging and animation

Delivered: A rigged cartoon-businessman character and composite animation renders (cartoon man composite, in MP4 and MOV)

Tools: After Effects

The brief

Mile Post Media, a Portland video production company, had a character that lived in 2D on its company logo. It needed the character rigged and animated for a series of spots where the character would interact with live actors. The first contract ran from 2 to 26 February 2024.

The build

I rigged the character in After Effects and animated it against stock footage of a businessman used as reference. The project folder shows the cartoon-businessman composite going through at least seven working-copy renders, and a second, fire-themed character (FireDude) with its own scene files.

The delivered experience

The composites are dated 4 February 2024; the entry carries the cartoon man composite and a later working-copy render. Mile Post Media hired me again for two more character jobs (Test Character Animations, then Character Animations) that closed on 7 August 2024.

Client feedback

"Fantastic, communication, and skill set. No flaws, no issues. A pleasure would definitely rehire, in fact, I already have." Mile Post Media, Upwork review
