CloudGate
Created this 20-second airport VIP lounge fake ad to study animation. I leaned into frame-by-frame animation, background design, using 3D in the workflow, colors and even a bit of branding. Super fun challenge!
Softwares used
- Blender
- After effects
- Affinity Designer 2

CloudGate is a 20-second fake ad for an airport VIP lounge, created as a personal project to study animation. I combined frame-by-frame animation with 3D: I built the scenes in Blender, then vectorized and painted them in Affinity Designer 2. Along the way I also explored background design, character design, color and even a bit of branding. It was a really fun challenge. Below you’ll find the styleframes, storyboard, frame-by-frame work and some behind-the-scenes process.
Styleframes - I created the structure on blender, then I brought it to Affinity Designer 2, vectorized it and painted it bitmap
Frame by Frame
Character Design
Storyboard - My initial plan was to create a more extended version, but I found out it was too much for me to handle by myself :(
Behind the curtains - Some illustration process and viewport renderings
