Rigging? Yes! We love it here. This reel shows a range of rigs created using Moho.
I’ve created a range of rigs for films, explainers and social media work, from super cartoony expressive characters (my personal favourite) to brand oriented animation focusing on identity and simplicity.
As an animator and rigger, I understand the areas which need attention. I keep my rigs well thought out with functionality and usability at the core. Rigs are always built specifically for your project to keep workflows smooth and animators happy.
But Why rigs?
What a great question!
I’ll keep it incredibly simple...
1. Rigs are consistent, reusable and save time. Whether it’s a human character, a talking fish or a beer bottle with a conscience, it can be done.
2. When you have a quick turnaround time or limited budget but still want that 2D animation charm, this is a perfect option. Rigs aren’t just for animation, you can use them for illustrations too!

Every rig I create is bespoke for the project, ensuring if fits with the style, and you get the most out of it.

A simple character can take 1-2 days, while a more complex rig may be 1-2 weeks.
It all depends on what the rig needs to do, so it is possible for faster turnaround times.This depends on the complexity of the character design, functionality of the rig and turnaround time. On average a rig could cost anywhere from £350 to £1000. Please do get in contact for an exact number.
Basic rigs are setup for simple body movements and expressions, giving you the important parts. These may have a basic skeleton, mouth swaps and eye blinks.
Advanced rigs begin to add more animation options with features like: Smart bones, controllers, IK/FK controls, meshes, physics, Vitruvian bones and reusable actions.
