The project started with a script provided by the creative director at Capgemini along with a rough storyboard of the video.

I refined the storyboard in Adobe Illustrator and prepare the visual assets to be used in Adobe After Effects. This stage of the process also presents an opportunity to plan and divide the whole animation into separate scenes to make it more manageable during the animation production.

Once the storyboard was approved, I then proceeded to create an animatic video (animated static images) based on the storyboard to plan out the timing and audio synchronization. This is also the point where I define the motion of transitions into each scene. The above example is just a small portion of the animatic.

The process of creating the actual visual assets now begins at this stage. Some of the assets were created in a 3D application to leverage the ability to explore various compositions to tell a more accurate story.

Animations and compositions are then put together and constructed in Adobe After Effects. Additionally, Cinema 4D has been used to achieve some of the complex 3D animation sequences.

And in the final stage, Adobe Premiere Pro was used to put together all the animated sequences, video footage, and sound design assets. It is also at this stage where color grading was applied to make every asset aesthetically consistent. The final result is shown at the very top of this page.
