GDD Opening Animation

Project Overview

At Google Developer Studio, we handled developer outreach.

I worked directly with engineers to communicate the value of their products to users, but we also handled large-scale events such as Google I/O.

Google was planning their biggest-ever event in India – Google I/O for Asian markets.

Our team oversaw the creation of all the event media elements.

As the motion designer, My job was to create the animated keynote opener.

Google Developer Days 2017 was the largest global event Google has ever hosted in India and the animation kicked things off on the main stage on a 40×10 foot screen.

The project brought with it

  • a hard deadline (1 month)
  • multiple stakeholders at every level
  • multiple rounds of story-boarding
  • high quality 3D renders
  • dozens of shots edited to a custom musical composition (by Peter Van Straten).
