Project overview

After seeing the Open Call from OFFF Barcelona, to submit something to their big screen for a public viewing, we decided to collaborate. My good friend Emily is an expert in the most beautiful 3D work and we really wanted to combine that with my storytelling and 2D characters. I pitched here some concepts, we landed on this one and developed in tandem the style.

OFFF Open Call for "The Screen"

Challenge

The deadline was quite tight when we decided to take part, so we developed everything in our spare time next to full time jobs on around 6 weekends and lunch breaks. Most challenging for designing beautiful frames was definitely the oddly shaped canvas and also planning ahead a lot, when and where there would be 2D/3D, so we could work parallel as much as possible. But we wanted to have fun with all of it, including as part of the story "fourth wall break", the character seeing the audience and reacting to it, which for us really took advantage of the benefits of such a huge wall and large audience.

Outcome

We got in! And we are so happy, even though we couldn't be there in person, it was amazing to see the recording of our work on the big screen. Its so hard to image the project you keep seeing on a small desktop screen in front you then being on a massive wall in front of a huge audience. But we couldnt be happier, the DJ had perfect timing for our ending. Next year we plan on being there in person, hopefully with the next collab!
