FROM THE CREATOR:

Being big fans ourselves, we were elated to be brought into this original and challenging project for Apple and Olivia Rodrigo’s collaboration #MadeoniPad! Our team was uniquely equipped to hone a brand-new workflow using exclusively iPad technology, namely Procreate, to design and animate nearly every asset.

Working alongside our talented compositing team, who utilized Nuke for markerless facial mapping, we cel-animated, hand-drew, and pre-projected each face mask using Procreate’s Face Paint technology.

With such an out-of-the-box workflow, this project and its development were truly bespoke to our teams’ hard-earned talents and problem-solving skills.
