Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation Season 2
HISTORY®
The task:
Pitching to the show producers, designing style frames, animating in 3D and compositing.
“This is not a UFO hunting show, but a series that will hopefully provoke a cultural conversation about unexplained phenomena and allow our viewers to ultimately draw their own conclusions. ”
The Approach:
We utilized Adobe After Effects, Maxon Cinema 4D to create dozens of important and impactful aircraft sequences explaining the pilots ufo sightings throughout the series.
There was a lot of collaboration in terms of how the animations looked and worked in the series, until everyone was satisfied we had captured the right tone. In the end it was well worth the effort of using CG and 2D elements. The project allowed us to experiment with many looks and techniques, which in the end lent itself to many rewarding interpretations.
