How has it been 5 months already since the Bash!? Y’all made our third iteration of the festival the best yet and we loved revisiting all those summer vibes in this recap video.

From our key sponsors who made this happen (looking at you @showit & @red_hat ) to the workshops @shape_and_shadow, @sanctus.audio, @motomichi_nakamura, and the joint portfolio session with Showit & @dash_nc put on - We. Had. A. Blast!

We couldn’t tag everybody, so if you see a friend, let them know in the comments! Full talks are heading up on YouTube over the next few weeks so make sure you keep your eyes out.

How do you build content that scales without losing fidelity? How about video that can be translated across verticals? Using a bespoke, templatized approach, dash was able to help ShareFile create modularity through containers that allowed us to change-out imagery and copy so one video could become six! by @dash_nc

Here's a quick playback-recording from the game so you can get a vibe of the characters and environment in action. It's really fun to play, but be ye forewarned... it's tough! Link to the game is on the project page if you'd like to play. by @dash_nc

@bi_guimaraes is the Founding Partner & Executive Creative Director at @mischiefusa
who is widely known for being one of the most creative companies in the world, and one of the reasons she believes they’ve maintained that title as they’ve grown is because of their clearly defined principles

“Process doesn’t tell you how to behave when things get uncomfortable but principles do.” The benefits of having such a strong belief system is that they anchor you in the ambiguity and they allow your entire team to feel empowered to steer the company in the right direction.

“If your team cannot articulate what your agency believes in they will default to what’s safe.”

Animation is a time consuming process. Not only do you have to design the graphics, but you then have to put it in motion. To eliminate any ambiguity of creative intentions, we went through the entire list of assets for the game and began sketching and rendering frames for approval. There were a lot of static assets that only required some simple sketches, while others needed to show a little more complexity through storyboards. by @dash_nc

Style frame are still images that convey the overall look and feel of a project. Once we established the character-shape of Enzo and his side-kick, we needed to play around with some color studies to determine the overarching aesthetic of the whole game. by @dash_nc

The gamification of content is real and we're here for it! McKinney reached out to dash to help illustrate and animate the look behind Money Magic: an indie video game that teaches students how to create and keep up with a personal budget.

To start we had to define the look, particularly for Enzo, the main character. Throughout the game Ezno would be performing tricks while silhouetted by the lights on stage, so when details were hidden he still needed a very distinctive shape. Here are some of the early explorations of his trusty rabbit side-kick and Enzo himself! by @dash_nc

So much fun developing this little guy! If you had to give them a name, what should we call our little robot dog feeder? by @dash_nc

Compositing is such an important part of creating a polished final project. Just take a look at all the details that went into the Red Hat Workloads campaign. by @dash_nc

One of the many benefits of working with an animation team for live-action projects is our focus on post-production. Not only do we ensure we get all the coverage we need but we CAN also fix it in post... just don't tell everyone ;) by @dash_nc
