Captivating a global audience with dynamic animations

To broaden VMware Explore’s global impact, we designed and produced a series of thematic animated videos for live audiences in California, Dubai, Barcelona, and Tokyo. 

The animated elements included titles, themed chapter intros, a dynamic opening experience, event-themed backgrounds, and supporting video creative.

Job to be done

Translate rich technical content into short, entertaining animations

Distill months of research, development and hours-long presentations into animated vignettes, introducing and instilling confidence in each VMWare presenter.

Design each creative piece to adapt to various languages, aspect ratios, and frame rates for an international audience.

Insight

A blend of expertise and creative strategy

Deep knowledge of the topics and close collaboration with VMware experts during early creative development were critical to the project's success.

We saw the importance of text-free animations that transition smoothly and communicate technical ideas, making them suitable for multilingual audiences.

Approach

Collaborating with experts to create a compelling visual strategy

Research and ideation workshops with VMware experts gave us a solid grasp of topics like Edge Computing and Multi-Cloud Apps. This collaboration led to the selection of visuals that resonated with internal teams and successfully conveyed VMware's complex business to an informed audience.

“I am the world's leading expert in edge computing, and it took me 6 months to create a clear diagram explaining it.”
