Overview
A 3D commercial I created as a personal project. My main goal and challenge was to make a vitamin ad that’s fun and memorable without causing the product to appear sketchy or unsafe.

Creative Decisions
★ Friendly design: The star shape, papery textures, fruity flavours, vintage elements, upbeat music, and “A vitamin you can share!” point, all help with making the product feel fun and approachable.
★ Trustworthy design: As a balance to the more playful elements, I chose a neutral white and navy blue for the clouds and sky. To further help establish trust, I made sure to use clean and readable typography.
★ Flexible composition: I chose the square format to reach a wider audience, since it enables me to easily adapt the layout into vertical or horizontal versions if needed.

Process
I used Photoshop for the initial designs, storyboards, and sticker textures, then Blender for modelling, materials, and animation. For the motion, I used keyframes, constraints, rigid body simulations, and Geometry Nodes. I rendered the different elements separately to give me more flexibility during compositing, and used DaVinci Resolve for the final edit and post-processing.  To create the poster and mockup, I used Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
