Flash press kit for Animal Planet's new series 'River Monsters.' Due to the extensive animation involved in this project, we collaborated with animator Joe Moccia, who developed the water, splashes, and the movement of the foot in After Effects. Building our workflow from there, I built a manager class that composites all these videos at runtime. Working with video and motion graphics on this scale for an online project was a first for Animal Planet, and we're excited to try it again soon.
