Microsoft needed help bringing their character "Bernie" to life for a Microsoft Surface nationwide in-store campaign. The animation was built in Cinema4D using digital assets based on a previous project and storyboards for animation. Animation consisted of 3D character rigging, character animation, camera moves, 2D compositing, particles, and rendering 2D/3D for a 30 sec animation. The output consisted of multiple versions of "Bernie" waving, showing some love, and utiilizing particles for a magical reveal.
