This month we feature community examples including a DuckTales puppet rig, Gulf City's cartoon empire, using animation for promoting a small speech therapy business, and a unique way to create face parallax. Then we'll show how to combine Character Animator and After Effects to make an animated Motion Graphics Templates for custom video title treatments. Finally we'll take a look at Palette Gear, a custom system of interlocking physical dials, buttons, and sliders to help control your puppets. Oh yeah, and how about that new intro? Yeah, exploding robots are usually a safe bet.
