Dear Pôle Interm'aide Team, I have carefully reviewed your mascot project. As a Senior Animator with over 10 years of experience, I propose a superior technical solution using After Effects and Duik Angela/Bassel. My focus is providing the cinematic quality your corporate mascot deserves. Why a 100% Duik workflow is the best choice for your project: Cinematic Fluidity: Unlike the automated feel of Character Animator, Duik allows for hand-crafted, professional movement with Squash & Stretch, ensuring a premium, "living" character. Advanced Lip-Sync in AE: I will deliver a fully automated Lip-Sync system within After Effects, synchronized to your audio tracks. This provides much more precision and acting range than standard visemes. High-End Rigging: I’ll build a robust IK/FK skeleton with 360° head controllers, allowing your team to reuse the mascot for everything from social media loops to complex training videos with ease. Premium Performance: Utilizing my Ryzen 9 workstation, I guarantee 4K ProRes 4444 exports with impeccable quality and fast delivery. Deliverables: Full Vectorization (AI). Master Rig in AE (Duik): Head, body, and gesture triggers. The 8 requested animation loops. Quick-start guide for independent use.

Hey, Your project stood out because it’s not just animation it’s about creating a fully usable mascot system your team can rely on long-term, and that’s exactly how I approach this kind of work. I can take your golden mascot from a static PNG to a fully rigged, expressive character across both Adobe Character Animator and After Effects (Duik Bassel). From clean vector breakdown to advanced rigging (lip sync, triggers, IK controls), everything will be structured, reusable, and easy for your team to handle internally. For the animation kit, I’ll focus on making each motion feel natural, loop-friendly, and personality-driven so it works seamlessly across internal comms, social content, and training materials. A few quick questions: Do you already have a preferred voice/lip-sync style for the mascot (realistic vs stylized)? Should the gestures lean more toward corporate-friendly or slightly playful/expressive? Will your team mainly use Character Animator live, or pre-rendered animations from After Effects? If you’re looking for clean rigs, smooth animation, and files your team can actually reuse without friction, I’d love to collaborate on this. Talk soon, Anus Ahmed

Hi, I see you are looking for a 2D mascot animation (golden cartoon character) using Adobe Character Animator & After Effects (Duik Bassel) for internal communication, social media, and training content for your organization, Pôle Interm'aide. I have 5+ years of experience in 2D character animation, rigging, and corporate motion content using After Effects and Character Animator workflows. To achieve better results, I would suggest building a fully rigged reusable mascot system (Duik Bassel setup) so the character can be easily reused for future training and communication videos without re-animating from scratch each time. I am available to start right away and can deliver within 1 day (initial rigged character animation preview). Important questions for clarity: • Do you already have a finalized mascot design or does it need cleanup/rigging preparation? • What type of animations are needed most (talking head, full body actions, gestures, etc.)? • Will you provide voiceovers, or should lip-sync be included as well? You can check my portfolio here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mahadhasan012 Let’s discuss the details. Thanks, Pixora Studios ?
