Minus-8 Ad

Animation & Storyboards: Bryant Hodson
Product Design & Art Direction: Dana Krieger
Creative Direction: Woo Roberts

This 30-second ad was created during my time at ASTRO Studios. The video gives motion to series of conceptual wristwatch renderings—part of a product line of watches designed by ASTRO called Minus-8. In collaboration with some incredibly talented designers, I was able to combine graphics, motion, and audio to convey the Minus-8 brand.

Concept Design, Video, and Animation/Compositing: Bryant Hodson
