INSPIRATION
To make the orange-colored product stand out, I chose a cool-toned cave as the background. The atmosphere is silent, which I thought would be perfect for creating a cinematic feel.
STORYBOARD
The story begins with the Nomad Rugged Case and iPhone in a cave filled with solid rocks, stones and grains. The rocks dynamically move and collide with the Nomad Rugged Case, highlighting the case's durability and the beautiful orange design through lighting. I aimed to create a continuous effect of stones floating in water to showcase the case's waterproof feature.
PROCESS
Most of the animations and simulations were created in Cinema 4D using Redshift. For scenes that couldn't be achieved in Cinema 4D, I used Houdini for the simulations. For the rocks and stones, I used assets from Quixel Megascans.
KEY ASSET
The materials for the Nomad rugged case were done in Substance Painter.
