ALTERNATE_future
I was fortunate to team up with Trifilm
to direct this animated film for Microsoft.
The story follows our main character Luis as he tries to
clearly explain the complexities and nuances of ‘language’,
and the challenges of teaching AI to thoroughly understand it.
A massive project, an incredibly talented team, and a little bit
of luck to get to the finish line.

LUIS.
It was imperative that our main character Luis had an instant likeness to his real-world self. This can be a challenging task, to strike the appropriate balance of simplicity and distilled key details that retain familiarity.
Luckily, Luis was very open to playing ball and was happy with many of our early concepts.

Our process of combining Textured 3D models with a hand-drawn 2D world was iterative and Fluid. While we knew this was the goal from early stages, it was important to adapt as we tackled different sections of the larger piece. Communication remains the keystone for implementing this technique with a 5m runtime.
