About this video
Optious created The More Time For You video to show everyday life that is relatable on a more personal level. We accomplished this by working with an illustrator who could create the world we wanted to share. We sprinkled some of our in-house magic with animation, creative transitions, 3D integration, and sound design. To create the animation, we employed various techniques, including Pseudo Cel animation, 3D animation, 2.5D animation, and effects compositing. We used Limber, Path animations, Duik, and Puppet pins to achieve the desired movements for our characters. One of our goals for this project was to create a 3D scene that looked as 2D as possible. So, we chose a café scene and began rebuilding the illustration in 3D. This involved modeling every part of the scene, which was quite time-consuming. However, the most challenging part was retexturing the entire scene. Surprisingly, the animation itself was the easiest part of the process! We want to thank Pasquale Garibaldi for the beautiful scenes and character designs. Overall, we are thrilled with the final video and can't wait to see how we can improve and create an even better animation in the future.
