Official Sample Created for Adobe

Kenneth Shinabery

In the Spring of 2016, I was approached by two fellow Adobe Influencers, Daniel Connerath and Simon Widaja (who hosted workshops at Adobe Max in 2017). They told me that they really enjoyed the characters that I have designed and asked if I would be interested in creating an official sample for Adobe Animate CC.

The sample would be entitled “Bringing Characters To Life” and would be promoted by Adobe as the Tour de Animate site is sponsored by Adobe US.

We decided to utilize my hipster character and place him in an art gallery. The art gallery would serve as place to showcase the different types of characters that could be animated with Animate CC.

Not only was I reasonable for creating a version of my hipster character that could be animated, but also for creating the assets for the art gallery itself. I went on to also create the statue of the ballerina as well.

My sample was officially launched in January 2017! It was an honor to work on yet another official project for Adobe!

The sample is free to download and experiment on the Tour de Animate site. If you download the sample, I would really enjoy seeing how you utilize it!
