I was a 2D character animator for the Disney cartoon “The Proud Family: Louder & Prouder.” I translated animatics provided by the client into cutout animations by drawing rough paperless key poses, staging rigged character models, and animating life into the characters with my own creative flair while adhering to the needs of the client. I also did basic character rigging and camera direction.
