Project description
Paramount Pictures is one of the largest animation/film studios in the world, with Nickelodeon being a children’s show platform underneath them. Our talented team brought the spot to life with next-level 3D animation, visual effects, and compositing, resulting in a playful yet premium 60-second promo for the 2023 Kids Choice Awards.
Our Approach
This gig had a quick turnaround, and we managed to apply our multidisciplinary approach to switch between programs and tackle technical challenges. Using C4D, we animated existing assets to create a full 3D CGI Blimp Intro Shot, established multiple portals featuring people, a goat, and slime, and animated various logos for Nickelodeon and the Kids Choice Video. Then, with Nuke, we composited the portals into the shots, conducted roto work, removed wires for the flying scene, replaced multiple screens in the promo video, and added visual effects to amplify the promo’s playfulness.
