I intend to use a park environment with an ice cream cart at the end of the path as the environment for this project, I have started the animation using a rig of a girl with two ponies as Leah.
The rig I am using for this project is of Crumbelina DiCarmello, originally a character from the game Sugar Rush in the movie – Wreck-it Ralph.
Downloaded the rig from:
