Billy Saves the World

Most of the time, the role involved cuing motion graphics, but there were several instances where it was necessary to step in and creatively use the available assets to build something more dynamic through code.

Context

Implemented every earthquake sequence across the entire game.

Highlight

The shaking effect was achieved by having the camera bounce rapidly between two closely positioned waypoints in the editor, simulating the sensation of an earthquake.

The clip above showcases an earthquake taking place inside a cave, triggered by a giant fly awakening from its slumber.

Context

Implemented unique illumination for specific scenarios.

Highlight

Typically, luminance is treated separately from motion graphics, but in certain cases, illumination needed to be more dynamic to achieve a particular aesthetic, such as a hologram.

Invite

The hologram shown here is created by various colors of spatial radiance over a white triangle art asset. Behind it, a character is spawned with an old hologram and hover effect applied.

Improvising

Context

Was required to create a motion graphic within the editor using a more classical approach.

Highlight

Unfortunately, there was no tween feature available to smoothly move an asset from one position to another. To create fluid motion, the asset had to be instantiated at a new position, destroyed, and then repositioned repeatedly.

The final effect shows a chunk of rock falling from the sky that either misses or crushes a non-playable character, depending on the player’s dialogue choices.

Utilised a built-in node that executes a specific motion graphic for a character existing within the level.

Here is a clip from a trailer showing a character named Morp smiling right after Billy walks over to him.

Cuing and enhancing visual effects.

Highlight

Technically, visual effects are in their own category separate from motion graphics, but in some instances, lights would be instantiated to help make them look more appealing.

Invite

In the above clip, there is a vortex that appears below the player’s feet to teleport him out of the scene. A purple light accompanies it during the appearance to make it feel like it really is present within the level.
