CREATING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS WITH AFTER EFFECTS JOYSTICK SCRIPT

During my learning process with the Joystick script in After Effects, I explored the creation of facial expressions for characters. The script allowed me to map different facial movements to joystick controls, enabling me to animate a character's expressions with precision and ease. This method involved setting up control layers and linking them to various facial attributes, such as eyes, eyebrows, and mouth.

By using this technique, I gained a deeper understanding of character animation, particularly in achieving realistic and dynamic facial expressions. The ability to manipulate expressions with such control has greatly enhanced my animation skills, allowing me to create more engaging and emotionally expressive characters.

This knowledge will be invaluable in future projects, as it equips me with the ability to bring characters to life through nuanced and expressive facial animations, improving the overall quality and impact of my work.
