Above are some clips from an animation made in partnership with several universities and the NHS to promote understanding of newborn screening tests and support the launch of ‘You Decide’ an interactive activity developed with healthcare policy makers to facilitate public engagement and understanding of the use of extended genetic testing in newborn screening for cystic fibrosis.. I designed and rigged all characters etc., and animated everything in After Effects. I also used the joysticks ‘n’ sliders plugin to create the complex facial animation and control the facial shadows.

I was so happy to be part of such an important and useful project, and I can’t wait to work on some more complex character rigs.
