Cherrypick Games
With the runaway success of their casual games taking priority, Cherrypick Games needed animation support for both their upcoming games and official website.
Kingdoms: Merge & Build - Apple Arcade Trailer
Cherrypick Games debut on the all new Apple Arcade was imminent through Kingdoms: Merge & Build. This visual-rich game provided me with some incredibly lush character animations and backdrops, but little in-between. My task was to tell a story of how a once prominent kingdom had fallen, and how the player would restore its former glory.
This carefully crafted trailer was a considered balance between adding visual efects, themed typography, re-timing character animations (with added bounces), faux camera movements, and an AI voiceover to pull everything together.
Cherrypick Games Website Header
Working alongside Dekiru (the talented coders behind the Cherrypick Games official website), an animated video header was needed to quickly communicate what the company was all about.
This seamless looping video was a typography-heavy mix of old and new game trailers, all coupled with key facts that showcased what the mobile game creators were all about.
Animated Game Introduction
During the creation of the animated video header, I took it upon myself to add some personality into the Cherrypick Games’ logo.
This short animation was only intended to be an added extra for the video header, however the team loved it so much they asked for a transparent PNG sequence that could be added to the start of all of their games going forward.
