Work

Running Robot

Personal character-animation work with a robot: a looping run cycle and a light-saber swing.

Client: IVG Design

Personal project / Character animation / 2020

A robot run cycle that loops.

My role: Character animation and Lottie export. Self-initiated.

Delivered: A looping Lottie JSON run cycle of a robot character (5000 x 5000, 30 fps, about 1.7 seconds).

Tools: After Effects, Bodymovin / Lottie.

What it explores

There was no client. This is a run-cycle exercise: a short, seamless loop of a robot character running, with a body turn.

The build

The Lottie is a single After Effects composition, "Fast Sprint with Body Turn BAKED", with 71 layers, exported through Bodymovin. It is in my LottieFiles profile export as "running robot".

The delivered experience

It plays in a browser as a looping Lottie.

Project media

Rendered from the delivered Lottie file on this page.
