Destiny 2: Season of Arrivals - "NOOK" vignette

This vignette went into production before working from home. While mocap was captured in house at Bungie, animation was extracted and polished while working from home as well.

The storyboards were created for narrative alignment (narrative leadership would get an idea of what we intended to do for the vignette) and my own tracking of the performance logistics (spacing of the VO, key poses, relative distance the characters are from each other, eyeline reference, and any visuals we are hoping to incorporate to bring to external teams).

All of this content is modular, meaning the entire performance is pieced together using smaller clips, allowing easier changes from leadership pivots and a focus on most important beats of the performance.

For this vignette, Eris uses 25 unique clips. These clips include idles, transitions, posebreaks and gestures.

Fun fact... I didn't have my laptop setup completely functional (which is essential for polish timing passes) so I was doing the polish timing pass under my desk because I couldn't use my monitors. My back was a little wonky for a few days. :)
