Project Proposal

For the final project I would like to illustrate the daily life of Jean-André, the earthworm. I know definitively that I want to combine found footage, my own footage, and an animated character. The character's setting will be made through the found and self-generated footage, but the character itself will be created completely through puppet animation. Over the course of this project, I want to become proficient with After Effects, specifically with camera tracking and keyframe animation. By the end of this project, I would like to be familiar and confident with the tools associated with and needed for creating and editing a digital character puppet.
