Storyboard + Character Design
Designed unique characters for the brand. Created a cohesive storyboard outline. Animated the characters and used Adobe Premiere Pro to finalize the edits. A number of techniques were used in this project. There are various options when it comes to animation and branding and we selected a 3D style that pairs well with the brand. A logo was then created from the characters and animated in the opening of this cartoon.
