Character creation

I created this character in photoshop using a tablet and then separated the character parts using the lasso tool and putting them in separate layers.  

After putting the parts into separate layers, we then imported them into Adobe after effects.

The parts came in all on top of each other, so we had to re-arrange the parts together and move the anchor points so we could animated the body parts.

We then animated the character we created with after effects. I only made small changes to see how the animation works in after effects.

Puppet Pin tool

The puppet pin tool makes the character have a more human effect to it, it makes it flow together. It doesn't work with my character as it is slightly robotic.
