Australian Museum - East Australian Current (Burra)
This floor projection mapping animation is for the Children's Discovery Center of Australian museum. It brings Pasifikaknowledge systems and Western science together in layers of learning that promote living well with Country and each other. It’s an exiting experience to collaborate with Pasifika artists and bring the beautiful work come to life.

I used different techniques to rig the animals, even though they were all in a 2D style. For most of the animals, I found that After Effects' rigging worked well. However, for the Whales, I decided to use Cinema 4D because of the way their fins move up and down while swimming. The end result was a 2D flat style, which looked great!
