Motion and Edit Tests
To test visual and animation motifs, I prioritized building motion sketches with finishable assets from the beginning. Moving quickly to find the scenes and story of the piece allowed our client to respond quickly and fast track a more focused and refined concept.
We mocked up open sequences to test scenes against each other and to help our client narrow focus conceptually.
After gaining access to production resources, we did further exploration on logo resolves with a combination of commissioned drone footage as well as stock library options.
