MOSHI MONSTERS
The Moshi Monsters Kickstarter trailer is one of our most ambitious projects and one that we’re extremely proud of.
We were approached by the BAFTA award winning Mind Candy with an incredible opportunity to be a part of the launch for the re-boot of beloved 2000’s game ‘Moshi Monsters’; and of course we were extremely excited to take on the challenge.
Pre-production
We hit the ground running with an animatic based on rough storyboards provided by Mind Candy to settle on story beats and create a ‘tone’.
It was important to us here that we captured a ‘dire’ feeling as Monstoro City faced an oncoming apocalypse, whilst at the same time balancing a humorous tone true to the Moshi brand.
With a project of this scope our first priority after finalizing the animatic was the creation of a pipeline which would ensure a swift delivery of the final trailer.
By creating assembling the perfect team for each role, from Rough animation to SFX, our production staff created a pipeline that was efficient and brimming with creative talent.
Establishing a pipeline
Rigging
Another crucial step to take before the start of the animation process was the creation of Rigs for the Moshi line-up. By co-coordinating with both Mind Candy and our team of experienced riggers we created fully functioning rigs ready for animation with time to spare.
The Animation
With a pipeline created and rigs ready, all that was left was to start the animation process. we couldn’t have been happier with the result and with some stellar compositing to push the final look the trailer was completed!
