Rigging question

[Thomas Monberg Thompson]

Should we put a bone in for each finger for the hand? and joints?

[Professor Watkins]

Depends what your character is doing. If we are going to see shots where your character's hand is in the shot and is highly dextrous, then yes, you should bone each finger (with several joints for each finger). If not, then you might want to assign all the fingers to one chain of bones. This will allow you to make a fist, etc....

For your project, it seems like there's a least one scene where the hand is seen very clearly as it reaches for the ring; so for at least one hand, you'll want to have a well rigged setup.
