The Ask

Create an illustration/animation project that tells the stories of Microsoft's employees in a 1-2min animated video format utilizing the provided script and VO

The Process

I began by dissecting the provided script and voiceover, systematically analyzing each line to extract key concepts and themes. Through this process, I wrote notes to create a mindmap

Taking some ideas from the mindmap I created sketches to go along with the script forming a storyboard. I took the sketches and timed them out with the VO creating an animatic that I presented to the client. Talking with the client I was able to ask them questions on how to best showcase some parts of his story.
