About Client
Project Challenge
For “Dino Mike’s” first 3D promo, the Bookshelf team needed a playful, 15-second animation that would capture the whimsical energy of their platform, and introduce readers to a charming book about a curious little dinosaur named Mike. We started with a storyboard to plan each scene and ensure a light, engaging flow. Then came the blocking phase, where we built the 3D environment and defined the object, character, and camera movements. Once the animation was finalized, we moved on to stylizing—adding textures, colors, and lighting to reflect the book’s cheerful tone. Finally, we completed rendering and post-production, polishing each frame to deliver a fun, welcoming snapshot of Bookshelf’s imaginative universe.
Project Solution
We set out to bring “Dino Mike,” a self-published gem on Bookshelf, to life through a bite-sized 3D adventure. Our goal? Create a whimsical yet polished promo that would intrigue readers and showcase the book’s friendly, magical world. By marrying playful animation with subtle hints about Bookshelf’s platform, we built excitement around both the novel and its reading experience. With a dash of curiosity and a touch of wonder, “Dino Mike” is ready to spark imaginations, one 3D frame at a time.
