Insight Bank - Progress

Hey All, I just realized that I never posted the PROGRESS vids of the Insight Bank work.
You can see the FINISHED version here: CLICK ME!


My thesis class had the opportunity to work with Insight Bank (A local bank here in the Columbus, OH area). They hired us to make some animations/infographics that could be shown throughout their new building in Worthington :D It was a super exciting opportunity. We all pitched ideas, mine was this - a simple filler to go between animation that showed off their logo. This is the animatic (DRAFT 1). The CEO liked it and we moved forward on production! Created in After Effects:






After getting the okay on the animatic (draft 1) we moved ahead in production.

More progress on the Insight Bank animated Logo Filler. All that's left after this is doing some final tweaks to the background, fixing some timing issues, and changing the color of the "we get it" to match with their branding.

This was another one of the projects we are doing for Insight Bank (A local bank here in the Columbus, OH area). This piece is focusing on how the bank is involved in with the community.

The concept is by John Chiriac.

This is our 2nd pass at the layout for the piece after John's initial presentation. The text is just something we put in for the meantime since we didn't have our official/approved text from the bank yet :)
As you can also see, the pacing on this version is also not perfect. It was more of just a visual for all of us on the team so we knew what this baby was gonna look like.

This was our 3rd pass at the animatic for John's piece with Insight Bank. The CEO really wanted us to add in a few more specific things related to their bank and their involvement with the community. We came in with some text (which has been approved) and revised the layout boards with more scenes (the pacing still isn't perfect though...this version was a little rushed because of the short notice I'm afraid).

With this revised animatic, we'd gone ahead and started working on the actual animations and structure models (they're quite lovely).

After all of this we were able to compile these two pieces together (along with a couple more) and get the finished product! You can view it via the link at the top of this post! :D

Insight Bank - Finished Animations!

This is what my Advanced Time-Based Media class did last semester for Insight Bank in Worthington :) It's a 4min animation that is meant to be looped.

Insight Bank Logo Dots thing

My thesis class is currently working on two projects. One is with the BalletMet here in Columbus (we'll be doing a 30sec PSA) and the other is with a local bank named Insight.

Insight bank wants some short animations and info/motion graphics for their locations (to play in various places throughout the location). We've been brainstorming and this is what I've come up with so far. These are just really simple storyboards.

Eventually, I'd like this to be a 15sec piece that's just a sort of fun little interlude between longer animations. I imagine this being done in 2D or 3D animation so that we can really give life to the letter "I" characters.

I pitch this on Friday, along with everyone else, so we'll see what they think :)
