Created as part of Level 2 Motion Graphics at TUMO, this personal project brings to life a small cast of whimsical animated characters in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween holiday. The collection includes a cheerful pumpkin, a menacing skeleton, a spooky ghost, and a mysterious black cat. The designs were inspired by an illustration from Freepik (reference image provided), and the goal was to experiment with organic motion while capturing the playful and eerie spirit of Halloween.

Each character is designed with simple, expressive forms and smooth, organic animation that gives them personality and charm. The pumpkin jumps playfully, the skeleton swings its scythe across the floor with spooky flair, the ghost twists and writhes as it floats through the air, and the cat dances lightly on its paws. Though this began as a personal project, the animations are versatile and can be easily adapted for social media posts, stories, websites, or any Halloween-themed content. The emphasis on fluid motion and character design ensures they are engaging, fun, and shareable.

This project allowed for creative exploration in character animation while celebrating the Halloween spirit. By combining playful and spooky elements with smooth, organic motion, these animated characters bring festive fun to any digital platform and demonstrate how a small personal project can be engaging, versatile, and shareable.
