Had the chance to collaborate with Icon Media once again to work on a new Kobo launch, this time for the new Kobo Elipsa.
This is the "Director's Cut" with some ideas that were scrapped in the process.
It was a nice exercise to avoid the high fantasy from the previous spots and create a more "grounded" reality.

Here are some early styleframes for this project.
Had so much fun with this project at the beginning of the year.
It was nice to finally being able to put my 2D and 3D skills into the same project.

Kobo came to Icon Motion in May of 2018 for another product launch video, this time for Kobo Clara. The idea was that the device would power up a lighthouse and light up the user’s reading life. I had the amazing opportunity to work with Jeff Briant and Patrick Letourneau on this 3D spot, and learned a lot from them. My work mainly consisted of animating the device section and assisting in texturing, lighting and some basic work in comp and edit. We also brought Jeff Moberg to help us with the sound design and bring the piece to life!

Kobo worked with Icon Motion in September of 2018 for their second product launch of the year, this time for their high-end device, Kobo Forma.
With a different shape from previous models, the largest screen for a Kobo device and a lightweight design, the team decided to go for a cloud aesthetic across the video to highlight these features.
It was a great opportunity once again to gather a dream team, learn and hone our skills.
Special thanks to Jeff Briant, not only for helping us bring this talent for the project but also for his guidance during its development.
