I am alive, and do intend to post to my blog more often - however my apathy levels are at an all-time high. I've been playing with After Effects more - experimenting & purchasing plugins to make this one-man-studio work the best it can.
Below is Dancing Pickle Man created with some simple vectors & Rubber Hose from BattleAxe.com. A reasonably priced plugin that helps by facilitating simple IK - with some very useful options for the bending joint. This is excellently documented and wonderfully simple to use and I highly recommend it to beginners and advanced After Effects users.
