As Modern Family approached its series finale, ABC and Toyota wanted to give a nostalgic send-off and thank you to all the fans that shared the journey over 11 seasons. The original concept, which called for a live action shoot, was moving full steam ahead until the coronavirus pandemic turned the entire world upside down. Guidelines for social distancing made it impossible to pull off a shoot that could tell ABC and Toyota’s story. The spot had to be completely reimagined as an animated experience, with two weeks to go until the Modern Family finale. We were happy to help ABC and Toyota adapt their live action production into animation so they could still give Modern Family the goodbye it deserved.
Deliverables included: On-Air :30 spot. Multiple digital and social media :30. Digital key art.
With such a short deadline, three main areas of concern had to be tackled immediately: The car, the style of the spot, and managing time so that it was possible to get the animation rendered and completed by the deadline.

Our friends at ABC approached us for a series of spots featuring the new Google Pixel 4 phone in conjunction with various ABC shows. The spots aired in perfect timing with the last scene of a show before a commercial break, tying it into the content. The goal was an integrated experience for the viewers.
We also created evergreen versions, which could air at any time for continued programming use.
We were given a script, VO, and the Google UI elements, but no visual background assets from the shows we were featuring. We had to research the shows and re-create the settings using various stock elements, 3D, and compositing.
To give the scenes some extra life, we gave each spot a layer of heavy sound design and also added a few “motion” detail touches. These elements varied from an added candle with a flickering flame, atmospherics, such as bathroom steam or dust particles, a person walking in the background, etc.
