Honda Research Institute (HRI) ordered an animated short film to show their consumer base Honda’s vision of the future of technology. The story follows a girl who grows up with an evolving tech that not only helps her, but it also inspires her to help those around her. The team at Jon Rom Studio met regularly with Honda HRI executives to strategize the execution of their vision for the short film. Our plan of action involved rigging outsourced character designs, compositing and layout work per outsourced storyboard animatics, and fully animating the characters, props, and other scene elements in the Adobe pipeline.
