This was a small personal project to get familiar with After Effects character animation. I created a very simple vector seagull illustration in Illustrator and then rigged the character in After Effects. I watched videos I took of seagulls walking and flying to get an idea of how their wings and legs bent and moved during takeoff. This was a great project as it taught me a lot about properly setting up your character rigging before beginning on the actual movements. This was important to keep all vector layers moving with the character.
