Birthday song made with Adobe Character Animator

The Covid-19 clamp down prevented me from attending the wonderful Miss E’s birthday party. I was heartbroken. (In the case of the child for whom I am a godparent) Instead, I sent her a birthday greeting that was tailored especially to her personality and current circumstances, which she appreciated.

Watch my video wishing Miss E a happy birthday.

It was with the assistance of Adobe Character Animator that the birthday greeting was developed.

Emily Watts created the low-poly fox, rabbit, and pug figurines that I used in my project, and I really appreciate her work.

The Happy Birthday song was written by SunChannelMusic.com.
