Mackenzie

I designed and illustrated Mackenzie the Koala as vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator, using reference images of cute koalas. I then created various facial angles and mouth shapes for Mackenzie, transforming him into a puppet in Adobe Character Animator. To animate his speech, I recorded a colleague's voice and applied it to the puppet. For facial expressions, I used my laptop camera to map my real-time facial movements directly onto Mackenzie's face.
