OUR PROCESS
First sketches.
Key moments of the storyboard where we navigate from the peacefulness of the early morning to the euphoria at night.
Key moments of the storyboard where we navigate from the peacefulness of the early morning to the euphoria at night.
From the storyboard, we created a 2D animatic so we could properly time events to the music.
Having nailed our timing, level design and art direction, we went ahead and positioned our final elements.
PROTOTYPING
We placed basic 3D shapes in our environment to evaluate the scales, distances and which point of view was worth working on.

We placed our elements and models without textures. This way we could concentrate on the movement of the camera and ensure a smooth ride in VR.
