We were given audio recordings of five phone interviews with various voluteers for the British Red Cross.&nbsp; We cut each of these interviews into 45 second bite sized stories that explained how the Red Cross assists people in need through the eyes of the voluteers. We then created animated visuals to accompany these using a combination of collage and CEL animation.

sure the selected sound bites formed not only a. good narrative story but also would work well as an animated story. The volunteers each had uniques stories which required different visuals&nbsp; but Dan wanted to make sure each story had a unifying look to it. Working closely with the animators from Untitled Studio they came up with the idea of 5 squares that form the shape of the Red Cross as a final frame for each film. Inside the boxes would be the last scene of each film, forming a cohesive visual set. They created a 3D black frame which would help to transition between scenes and to resolve into the Red Cross logo at the end of the piece. IDan storyboarded all of the films as well as creating a series of visual ‘style frames’ for the films to give the client a strong indication of scene content and the aesthetic look. The team at Untitled then animated and designed the additional scenes based on the storyboard and timing to the voice of the interviewees.&nbsp; The resulting films are moving because of the authentic stories told in the words of each volunteer and combined with serious sophisticated visual collage animation. https://danielsymonsdesign.com/Featured-Work Tue, 14 Mar 2023 12:42:59 +0000 Daniel Symons https://danielsymonsdesign.com/Featured-Work Client: Guardian Labs &amp; Interactive InvestorProduction Company: WildProducer &amp; Scriptwriter - Ed EmsleyIllustrator - Jeremy HoldenSound Designer - Tim Steemson <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e5720e8b175cae39f0763d178c71d7a0a20947c5e7a7418ecf5698f599b4be7/2.jpg" data-mid="171778731" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e5720e8b175cae39f0763d178c71d7a0a20947c5e7a7418ecf5698f599b4be7/2.jpg" /> 3D Renders were taken into photoshop where key frames were hand painted.

We then positioned cameras around the garden like we would in a real live action shoot.

Using virtual projectors we mapped videos of various energy infratsructure to the Metahumans bodies.&nbsp; Dan Says:‘Crossing the uncanny valley by creating digital human renders that appear convincingly real to the audiences eye is probably the most difficult challenge we’ve ever attempted as the human brain is hyper sensitive to millions of details that make up a human image. However I feel we are almost at a level with this technology where we can be confident of doing this. This was what made this such an interesting piece to work on. ‘ https://danielsymonsdesign.com/HP-Hybrid-Working-1 Tue, 14 Mar 2023 12:42:59 +0000 Daniel Symons https://danielsymonsdesign.com/HP-Hybrid-Working-1 HP&nbsp;— Hybrid Working(2022)&nbsp;EXPLAINER The goal was to explain the shift to hybrid working in the most engaging way possible by using 2D character animation and graphic colourful designs. From script stage to final delivery Dan took what is quite a complex issue and boiled it down to familiar visuals that office workers can relate to. This was very much a phenomenon that people were having personal experiences of so it made sense to frame it from their perspective.Role: Director &amp; 2D Animator <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d6727f1064053db980a48c29f84d9e2fe775ae549d9bb8ed0d96a51c9708078/HP_01.jpg" data-mid="171895942" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d6727f1064053db980a48c29f84d9e2fe775ae549d9bb8ed0d96a51c9708078/HP_01.jpg" /> Scene 1 - Commute<img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/57c494bc4e7b8889b7442bf87329a1cde574194756c5c52d0ac34e87234ffc54/HP_02.jpg" data-mid="171895958" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/57c494bc4e7b8889b7442bf87329a1cde574194756c5c52d0ac34e87234ffc54/HP_02.jpg" /> Shot 2 - Home &amp; Office <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e06ad3e0fd0bbf363c578412ffaccd517569a0012b1fa88ef6c1e86dbce75c33/HP_03.jpg" data-mid="171895962" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e06ad3e0fd0bbf363c578412ffaccd517569a0012b1fa88ef6c1e86dbce75c33/HP_03.jpg" /> Shot 3 - Remote Work Credits: Client: HP &amp; Guardian LabsProduction Company: WildIllustrator: Jay Quercia2D Animation: Untitled Studio (Pablo Thomas &amp; Christian Tailor)Sound Designer: Gareth Young Working together with LA based Illustrator Jay Quercia, Dan storyboarded and oversaw the illustration and animation stage of the process. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/371f3cd6a193f862191dc2f7f221dbd74ce8a46c486d12d36a30704fc7eed492/HP_04.jpg" data-mid="171895965" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/371f3cd6a193f862191dc2f7f221dbd74ce8a46c486d12d36a30704fc7eed492/HP_04.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b7f3bb7cdd0ba28ad5e777b59adf4c0b4b132463ce25a2ecf92d1c3123ae7f7/HP_05.jpg" data-mid="171895966" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b7f3bb7cdd0ba28ad5e777b59adf4c0b4b132463ce25a2ecf92d1c3123ae7f7/HP_05.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c29efd21b233b2807ef98f5dd813f1e1efdae5b1fed40c913b73d95d4c3dc7dc/HP_07.jpg" data-mid="171895970" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c29efd21b233b2807ef98f5dd813f1e1efdae5b1fed40c913b73d95d4c3dc7dc/HP_07.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff14b428677f8ffe2e654aecd44cc24cfb823493bde120b01c9f9d3a57efb394/HP_08.jpg" data-mid="171934211" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff14b428677f8ffe2e654aecd44cc24cfb823493bde120b01c9f9d3a57efb394/HP_08.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3106c090de7614a9c99f351c5df62969a880f2dcde97e3c0438aa691b3dcd19/HP_09.jpg" data-mid="171934212" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3106c090de7614a9c99f351c5df62969a880f2dcde97e3c0438aa691b3dcd19/HP_09.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9833d5230673eff97901e197b1ba6d1696ad1bd8d2b090c728600a867c7bf27e/HP_10.jpg" data-mid="171934214" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9833d5230673eff97901e197b1ba6d1696ad1bd8d2b090c728600a867c7bf27e/HP_10.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f15254df588b95a3f69b57b337ce9dbe262370f06e0393f497cde0c0823e4992/HP_11.jpg" data-mid="171934216" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f15254df588b95a3f69b57b337ce9dbe262370f06e0393f497cde0c0823e4992/HP_11.jpg" /> Dan and the team used a combination of After Effects character animation and CEL animation in photoshop to bring this to life in the most efficient way possible.
