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.

Illustrations
​
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.
