Creative Director and Lead Animator
for visuals for large-scale keynote presentation to unveil the new Jump scooters launched in Sacramento, CA
THE STORY
When Uber's Jump brand needed to showcase their latest scooter prototype for a pilot program in Sacramento, they approached us for help with presenting it to the audience. This new scooter boasted advanced technology to prevent sidewalk riding and improper parking, as well as help with deployment operations. We wanted to showcase the cutting-edge technology in a way that would excite the audience.
THE CHALLENGE
Since the prototypes were not yet fully produced, due to Covid restrictions, we couldn't take still images or video of the parts, making it difficult to showcase the features and technology in a meaningful way.
OUR SOLUTION
We created a stunning high-fidelity 3D model that demonstrated the assembly of the new scooter. Our team collaborated closely with Uber's engineers to bring their 3D models from SolidWorks to life with the correct materials and lighting.
