The guys needed to develop an animation for a one-minute script.

We wanted to engage our audience, trigger their emotions, and inspire empathy.

SOLUTION

Describe the video(s) and the process in detail.

The first step was a consultation with the design lead. During a one-hour call, we went through each frame step by step. Then they provided a high-concept design that explained the position of the characters, the actions that would take, and the background of each frame. At that point, I gave feedback to complete the picture.

They provided animation and character examples from which we could choose.  That was critical to building empathy within the animation. Then they put the animations into action and we offered feedback. After completing the characters, backgrounds, and movements, they sprinkled in cool effects and added a good background song.
