Project:

Austar

Project Brief

This project took us forever. An animation without any dialogues or voiceover. OOF ! Really difficult. This really pushed us as an agency. The flavour of the project being funny and comic gave us ample room to really push exaggeration for the story.

Animation Process

The animation needed to be simple yet delicately exaggerated. We really wanted this to feel like a big budget piece. We used Duik to rig the turnaround of the character. Experimented with Duik and puppet working together.

Character Design Process

With the character, we went a bit on the goofy side. We took a gardener as the person and really went all out on him being a funny size. We used the company colours to make the cloths, to make feel the part.

StoryBoard Design

We took forever to work out the details for the storyboard and kept going back to the drawing board. We redid this whole section 3 times and had to really dial this in due to it having no voice over or dialogue.
