How I rig cartoon eyes in After Effects (Joysticks & Sliders)
In this video I walk through how I rig one of my cartoon characters in After Effects using Joysticks & Sliders.
I’m using a little character hiding under a blanket on a couch, and I show how I set up his eyes so they can look around smoothly using simple controller sliders instead of keyframes.
This is part of how I build my Fresh Cake characters — mixing animation, rigging, and creative tech to make expressive little cartoons that are fun to animate.
If you’re into character animation, After Effects rigging, or seeing how these goofy characters are actually made behind the scenes, you’re in the right place 🍰
