  • PROJECT: Product Design & Animation
  • TYPE: Visual Effects
  • ROLE: Everything
  • DATE: Fall 08

The project started with creating concepts for products that solved a current problem and actually were useful. The two final candidates here were a digital cassette tape, and a motorized snowboard. Obviously, one is a lot more fun to play with the the other ;)

Once the product was chosen, a short tvc spot was made selling not the product directly, but the experience. Here, that was done by imagining the board as a performance fighter jet and watching it overcome nature. Some of the challenges in this all CG spot were multi-pass compositing, modeling, and render times.
