Ebay UK

Working alongside the creative wizards at Team Rubber↗, we assembled 2 multidisciplinary animated shorts for eBay. We were thrilled to be working on a project that fused the vast array of animation skills and techniques we at nymbl pride ourselves on playing with.

How did we implement the creative?

We opened up a delicious palette of individual visual similes that enabled us to contribute a range of techniques: from live action and stop motion, to 3d animation and motion graphics.

Limitations were few, a real privilege for the team at nymbl.  The continuity between the live action and pace of the track was an essential ingredient to ensure the finish of the animated segments remained polished and dynamic. Applying fine brushstrokes such as the detailed stitching in Wilson, the fluid simulated jam splat and cloth simulated feather plume contributed to the seamless fusion of disciplines.

Rhythm is one of the most important platforms for effective animation.  The soundtrack by Rizzle Kicks laid the foundation for the pacy key-framing which enabled us to also flex our traditional animation techniques.  The films are enjoyable examples of when and where to use our clever software and simulation tools alongside great cinematography and traditional animation techniques.

We also delivered a palette of short form versions for video on demand and YouTube advertising campaigns.
