2011 Webby Award for Animation in the Online Film & Video Category: "Do You Know What Nano Means?" for Wonderville

Basic Head rotations using 3D Layers, Distortion Mesh & Expressions in After Effects

"This is a really quick overview of one method to approach head rotations and Blink animations. It is not a definitive method, but if your character design suites the process it can be quite effective.

I just skim over the expressions and property linking so if you need a more detailed overview of linking sliders to layer attributes check out my earlier tutorial on Using Sliders."
