SAMsung x Tokyo 2020 olympic - buck
This project featured a bold, graphic vector style that seamlessly brought together the spirit of the Olympics and Samsung’s phones. Although the visuals appeared to be 2D animation, the entire piece was crafted in 3D. To achieve this unique look, we used flat shaders and cryptomatte passes for flexibility during compositing.
As a generalist, I contributed by rendering the graphic animations, shading & lighting the phones to meet the client’s product specifications, and compositing these elements in Nuke. While compositing isn’t typically my main role, this job offered a valuable opportunity to dive into a new workflow and explore advanced techniques in Nuke. 3D cameras were brought into Nuke to reposition elements placed on cards, creating additional visual illusions that added another dimension to the animation. This experience deepened my understanding of the entire pipeline, enriching my skills and enhancing my contributions to future projects.
