Nick Jr: Summer 2019 ‘Vacation Celebration’

For summer 2019, the Nick Jr characters got re-imagined by El Grand Chamaco! Since these 3D characters were too geometry-heavy for it to be practical to rig and animate them in the time frame we had, I was tasked with rigging After Effects puppets of all the models in order for our animation team to work with them. I also animated 15 shots of the Anthem and 5 of the IDs that ran on-air for the whole summer campaign.
