Education – Domestika Advntr Course
Creative Direction / Design / Animation / 2D / 3D
When asked to create an animation course for Domestika, we wanted to explore different ways of combining 2D and 3D to tell an ordinary story with a twist! You can watch us create this whole piece from beginning to end and more right here:

Starting from Scratch
Filming a course for Domestika was such a dream. We were able to showcase our work process, even the raw and real pencil sketches we start every project with. The students were able to see how we think creatively, solve design challenges, and make something amazing.
Design Design Design
Our hero for this project was such a fun character to design, and we were able to walk the students through the entire process of creating him. Along with character design, we were able design all the styleframes for the short film so the students were able to see exactly how we design everything before animation.
Marrying 2D and 3D
The most unique part of this course is the marriage between 2D and 3D, no pun intended, and the students were able to learn exactly how we do that.
