Final Video

Storyboard

​

We started with a script review and brainstorming session where we threw around ideas for a story to showcase the product. We then took the best of those ideas and turned them into a storyboard and animatic. This allowed us to figure out timing and staging for scenes, as well as  informed us on what assets we needed to create.

Next, we created background for our characters to live in. Using out Sky Suite video as a style guide, we created several new background, including a cluttered office, an airport terminal and a beach.

Character Rigs

We used the DU IK After Effects rig to add a little sass to our characters bodies, and used the Joysticks and Sliders plugin to their eyes, mouth and face.
