The story of two plumbers on a mission to fix a dangerously explosive boiler...
This project was very challenging but also a lot of fun. The client wanted a short piece of animation for a Token Cabinet Game. The animation was designed to reward the player with an entertaining sequence which then revealed their prize at the end.
One of the main challenges was the amount of set and prop design. Exterior scenes always involve more work because you are dealing with a much grander scale and landscape than interior scenes. The best way to deal with this problem was to keep building into the scene bit by bit and play to the camera. Other challenges included producing exciting action pact animation and special effects.
Throughout the project we worked closely with the client. Many changes were made to improve the piece. Crocodiles were created for added danger and to get a more cartoon like aesthetic we changed the style of the piece by altering the level of detail in the textures and composited black lines over all the edges.
After finishing the reveal animation the client came back to us with another job. While the game is not being played the client wanted a short looping animation of the characters dancing to draw people into playing the game. With the characters and set already built the job was a very quick turnaround. It was just a matter of editing parts of the set to suit the new scene and animating the characters doing a simple dance cycle.
