'Stadia Founders'
What better way to create an explainer video for the Google Stadia "Founders" than with a thrilling animated journey using a cast of extraordinary characters. Join them on an adventure as we showcase the exclusive benefits of this one-of-a-kind gaming technology.
"From Yetis to Pugburgers, we brought the avatar headshots of Stadia to life and imagined their complete character designs. Using only their profiles we had to dive deep and expand their worlds to discover who each of these wild characters are."
