Animations of simple instructions (open, sit, come, etc.) were needed for each language. I starting with animating a basic rig for each command word. I then illustrated humans for each language and created their puppet pieces. Those pieces were then paired to the pieces on the basic rig animation and rendered. Both rigging and animation were done in Adobe After Effects with Duik. This process was used to create nearly 200 short videos.

These short animations depicted various commands and concepts, and were illustrated in the cultural style of each language. These animations were hand drawn vector illustrations, rendered into gif files. using this method, nearly 150 short videos were created for this project.
