The rig is the whole job here — everything after Phase 1 is only as fast as how cleanly Miss Pumpkin is cut into layers and bound. We build the character in After Effects with a proper puppet rig, so talking, walking and lip-sync in later episodes reuse the same controls instead of re-drawing. Our studio does 3D animation film work with a full crew, so the ongoing 3-5 minute episodes have real capacity behind them. Portfolio's on my profile. Happy to jump on a short call to scope it, then you'll have exact timelines for the intro and per episode. One question: is the character design flat vector art, or painted/textured raster? That decides how the rig gets built. Daniele

As a client-focused animator with a deep proficiency in 2D and 3D animation, I am confident that myself and my team at PrimePixel can turn your Miss Pumpkin project into the phenomenal YouTube mini-series that you envisioned. Having tackled similar mascot-style character animations, we know exactly how to strike the balance between creating something visually appealing and meeting the aesthetic goals for a garden/park series in Italy. Here’s an overview of what we can bring to Miss Pumpkin's dances and antics. Our skillset includes precise 2D drawing, 2D Animation Explainer Videos, 3D Animation, After Effects, and Animation - thus, enabling us to systematically construct a charcater timeline for each episode. We also understand that creating a well-designed reusable character with smooth, consistent animations forms the backbone of this project. Aligning with this understanding, our workflow predominantly focuses on Adobe After Effects for motion graphics and animation, Adobe Illustrator for vector design & illustration, Adobe Photoshop for graphic design & photo editing alongside utilizing a variety of 3D Animation Tools for product animation & visualization.
