Traditionally static the brands team asked us to create some animated ads for social media. The ask was to make it eye catching and promote the Rate & Win evergreen campaign. I had been working on a pouring animation so naturally the first thing I thought of was pouring “ratings” stars out from the can. The second animation they wanted to feature gift cards I decided to use a slow motion effect so that I could show off some reflections and lighting to make the cards appealing and eye catching. Both animations were done in 3ds max rendered in VRay and finished in After Effects.
