My Role
With such a tight timeline I provided my team with Pokémon research. When it comes to things like lines for the news casters to say.
Pokémon references easter eggs layout that stay true to the IP. Choosing rewards for each Ultra beast raid.
When it came to design I also provided mood boards as well. For each Ultra Beast feeling out there type as well.
Pre-Recording Ultra Beast raids so we can have footage for the live show.
I also offered on-site support. Adjusting cameras helping out with excel sheets being able to help out with anything
The Show
Conclusion/Metrics
This was a dream project to work with Pokémon since childhood it was such a pleasure to be on this project and have such a significant role on all of this. I met so many people it was really cool to do things for Pokémon all together a great ride. This was my second production and I’m so happy that everything went smoothly. In the video it’s confirmed at least 2,500 people gathered in that area to play.
Pokemon Go Live which had 3,000+ audience on site 81,000+ views
Recording & Pokemon Entrance Animation
I Designed the backgrounds for each Pokémon intro. The idea behind this was to make effects that feel like the Pokémon’s types as well as what felt right with their designs.
