Choosing the right animation style
Moonshiners
A reality show about the lives of people who illegally produce moonshine, their techniques and how they evade the law. We developed the 2D animated map designs that explain the still setups for each episode.
For this, we designed the map texture and style with an outdoorsy feel, almost as if the moonshiners themselves were using these plans. Drawings would animate on according to what’s being said and would give the viewer an intimate look at how each still was built and used.
EXPEDITION X
A paranormal show that investigates claims of supernatural encounters. Since these encounters take place all over the world, we designed a 3D map that gives us the ability to rapidly move from one location to another. We gave the map an overall green tint to give off a paranormal vibe and choose a font that’s a mix between spooky and sci-fi.
For maps showing travel there’s two map types; flying, which is fast-paced and uses straight connected lines, and driving, which is slower and uses jagged lines to illustrate the concept of moving through many streets, highways and trails. These 3D maps are also used to identify different locations from the episode to highlight paranormal sightings.
