Logitech: Ring Central
The wonderful folks over at IV brought me back on to help showcase Logitech's suite of products, in 3 different scenarios for a remote team. The style they developed for this one was a joy to work in and bring to life & I was thrilled to be apart of such a great team.

A Colorful World
Kelly Nakamura illustrated each of these characters with beautiful colorful gradients that were unique to each character. This gave each character some subtle shading and made them pop off of the backgrounds.
3D Logitech Products
The fun part of animating these characters was having them interact with the realistic 3D devices. Max Anderson did a wonderful job visualizing these and giving us turnaround sequences to retime and implement into our 2D scenes.
In the majority of our scenes, we rigged & animated the characters in After Effects but then replaced their limbs with traditional cel animation to give them a bit more life. Combining that with the 3D products was a fun challenge.
