About an Aboriginal woman and a firefly

This animation helped me get more familiar with Blender's pose library. I've used the pl before, but not for making a full on animation like this. Yes, the walk is a little wobbly and unnatural, but I haven't done this before so, for me, it's progress! :D
I had trouble with the eyes, as you can see towards the end of the video. I used the Rigify metarig but wasn't able to shift the eyes the way I wanted without distorting the rest of the face. The eyes were a separate object parented to the body (which was parented to the rig). I tried using a separate rig but that ended up being too tedious. I hope to revisit this animation in the future when I'm better at animating to improve it!
I'm looking forward to making more animations in the future using this feature. Animation is definitely a skill I want to get better at and this makes it sooo much easier!
