WWE Communications reached out to us to design and animate a series of testimonial-like videos for Gilead Sciences. We were tasked with designing the overall look of this series, as well as future videos. A majority of the character animation is digitally hand-drawn, while the talking head characters were rigged for quick lip sync and turnaround. We incorporated circular shapes and subtle line work with background elements to maintain a cohesive look for all of the videos.
Gilead’s Research Scholars Program supports innovative research from emerging investigators around the world to advance scientific knowledge in areas of unmet medical needs and improve the lives of patients everywhere.
