The animatics were a special project we did at the request of a third party client, who wanted to test the compatibility of their scripts with the abilities of our team. For the most part, the animatic is presented as a linear story showing dialogue and coloured key-frames. This changes at a key moment in the story, seen at the 1:05 mark in the above clip, where the player is presented with a ‘Podop’ moment.

Multiple effects, such as

  • The book cover,
  • An animation occuring when the page was ready to turn,
  • voice overs by our product manager,
  • animations causing the Podop moment to glow
  • Captions appearing on text, near characters talking,
    • were created independently by the team to enhance the animatic’s effect.
