Next invited Consulado to create thirteen geek themed videos in order to present it as the official bank of CCXP 22! To deliver accordingly this amazing briefing, our artists dove deep into the main references from the geek culture, including role playing games, traditional cartoon style and the latest mobile games. How many easter eggs can you find in the video?
In order to reach the expected result, we developed the idea of each piece in a way they would all converge. From there, we planned which design and animation techniques should better be used on each one. In order that all material had lines, aesthetics and visuals typical of the culture universes represented on the campaign, it was essential to use different profiles of artists, as well as a process with specific pipelines and different animation techniques.
In terms of execution and production techniques, everything was used; from classic animation (2D frame by frame), to 3D animation, from Artificial Intelligence and Game Engine to, in some cases, even a mixture of different techniques.
For the entire execution of the project, 35 professionals were involved, among them: Director, Art Director, CGI Leads, Producers, Designers, Illustrators, 2D Animators, 3D Animators, Motion Designers, Modelers, Riggers, Look-dev Artists, Render and Composers.
Clear and transparent communication with the client, a multidisciplinary team, collaborative work and organized production processes were essential to achieve the expected result, in addition to highlighting the geek side of each of those involved in the project.
