Veterans Administration Project
The Veterans Administration (VA) project is a series of instructional, animated, explainer videos for VA staff, veterans, and healthcare managers or providers. I collaborated with the University of Colorado Denver to create vector assets for these animations and high-fidelity storyboards that set the visual tone for the scripts of these videos.
The Process
The project goal was to translate written scripts into high-fidelity designs to exemplify the visual style of the training videos for the VA. After designing the high-fidelity storyboards, which involved the creation of characters and background assets with a style guide in mind, I submitted the designs for approval. Post-approval, I would go back through my designs to prepare them for animation. I did this by separating character limbs, so their joints were movable, creating supplemental assets for use in each scene, and laying out text in Adobe Illustrator.
Below is a bullet list breakdown of the workflow:
Creative Workflow Breakdown:
Receive and annotate the script
Sketch out rough storyboards to match the scenes in the script
Vectorize storyboards
Submit for approval
Edit storyboards
Submit for approval (2)
Post-approval: prepare Illustrator files for animation (characters with joints, assets that need to move must be on separate layers, layout typography)
