Character Studio animates a cartoon, mascot or illustration with the movement from a clip. Characters aren’t shaped like people, and that changes what works.
Start with a front view
One front-facing image of the whole character on a plain background works best. A side view helps with turns.
Match the proportions
A big head, no neck or short arms smear when forced into a human shape. Turn on matching proportions and the character keeps its round body or long ears.
The back-of-head problem
When the performer turns away, the back is invented and details such as ears can be lost. Try two variations and keep the one that holds up.
