We start to sketch out and test ideas to visualize the script. Brainstorming friendly and effective solutions, that need to transmit the difficult realities of the impact of this industry on our planet and the animals.
Based on the Creative and Art Direction, Look & Feel, we began giving style to the approved storyboard. This episode was one of the first one from the series, so it defined the style and level of detail for the aesthetic look and feel for future episodes.
Through the story, we make sure the aesthetics are leading the eye and maintaining a light reading flow, which allows the audience time to connect emotionally with the message until the end.
In order to portray the gravity of this particular script, we made sure the mood for the movements of the characters, camera, and elements would not be too playful, however still have a charming flow to keep the audience's interest.
