Overview:
The Powerplay Tournament is a fresh take on rummy tournaments built around levels instead of rounds. Every player begins with the same stack of points, creating a fair start. As matches play out, points rise or fall with each win or loss, and at the end of every level those points decide who advances and who gets knocked out, adding a dynamic, skill-driven twist to progression.
Process:
I was part of this project right from storyboarding the video idea, working closely with the copywriter to align with their vision while also bringing some of my own ideas to the table. Once the concept was sketched out on paper, or in this case, in Photoshop, I moved on to building the assets. Stepping beyond animation, I took on modeling, texturing, and layout, something that was new and challenging for me, but with my team’s support I was able to push my skill set further.

Process:
From there it was back to familiar ground, animating the assets and camera, and applying lighting techniques I had practiced on smaller projects. The final video was then polished by the motion design team, who added the lettering, 2D elements, and final color tuning to complete the piece.
