Game for Galop
Galop was one of the selected charities for 2023’s Jingle Jam. Gamers everywhere could sign up on behalf the charity to raise funds for LGBT+ youth experiencing abuse; helping provide access to life-saving support across the UK.
I was commissioned to develop and direct a series of 6 films to help promote and encourage gamers to sign up and take part in the fundraising. The films were to be engaging, vibrant and pay homage to retro gaming aesthetics.
Visual Development
I built everything inside of After Effects and used RetroDither to help me achieve some of the pixelated feel of a retro game. I drew a lot of inspiration from Rainbow Islands and Mickey Mouse’s Land of Illusion.
We had a fairly quick turn around time, so I create a bank of modular assets and loopable actions that I could use to generate scenes quickly.
