Final Video.
While working at Five by Five, I wanted to strengthen my motion graphics skills between jobs. I decided to create my own brief - a project for me to chip away at in my downtime.
The challenge was to create a short narrative animation which highlighted the agency's company values.

Detailed storyboard.
This was an excellent opportunity to practise my storytelling and character animation abilities. I began by sketching out a loose plan, then developed this into a more detailed storyboard, creating the key assets as I went.
