VIRIA
Nightmare-Inspired Ad
Helping with the creation of this film for Viria, a Finnish security company, was an absolute pleasure - especially when collaborating with Boutique Animation on their creative endeavors is always such a rewarding experience.
THE GOAL: Visually conceptualize and design the animated ad for Viria.
THE SOLUTION: Working with director Johan Snell, we explored various character designs approaches before finalizing the look of the main protagonist. We also experimented extensively to craft the dreamlike world our hero would inhabit, ensuring it felt both unique and captivating.
Once the client approved the ideal look and feel, I began creating styleframes for nearly every shot in the film. The animators jumped into production as soon as each frame was ready - super fast, super efficient, and incredibly collaborative!
