All character animation was done by me. Our pink bird character is completely keyframed from blocked to splined animation. All CFX simulations (hair, clothing, fur movement) was done by another artist on our team. Our young human protagonist's body animation was motion captured by the MoCap actor on our team. With the captured data, I cleaned up messy data in Vicon Shogun Post, and made animation changes such as the facial animation and finger animation in Maya.
