Challenge
Working with Motive's design team, we were asked to bring print graphics to life for this rebrand campaign.
Solution
We were given some existing designs and models and were tasked with creating additional assets to match the style. We were able to create a miniature city and fill it with characters, props and environments, all in the low-poly style. Then, through animation, we were able to bring it all to life.
Approach
Using playful pop-up book style animation, we animated on each element in the city.
We filled the city with lots of details, like balloons, trees, streetlamps and fire hydrants to name a few.

We animated characters and animals and smoothly kept the spots flowing with clever transitions.
Everyone involved was very happy with the rebrand. We enjoyed challenging ourselves with increasing the level of detail with this project.
