Been fooling around with #procreatedreams and wanted to animate something for one of my fav board games #ROOT quite a lot left to do but wanted to share some progress. Ive been doing rigged animation for about 10 years and im quite out of practice with traditional hand drawn, so its been fun to do!

Do I know any animators on here?
Making an 8-10 minute short film that plays like an animated children's book.
Specifically hand-drawn-style or paint-style, but still functionally CG using modern software and workflows. No AI please.

We really enjoyed Tim's book and it made us try games that we wouldn't have otherwise.
The book is a fun mix between historical facts about games and Tim's personal experiences playing these games with others.
It's so good it's on our very exclusive gift guide! www.semicoop.com/holiday-gift...

Not to be like a pushy d-bag but time is running out & I have 2 kids to feed so if you want a great gift for the boardgamer in your life get them my book The Game Changers (UK) / Across The Board (US) all about how games shaped civilization & make us human. Many critics have vouched for them!
