With the growth of his family and business, Ricardo Lino aka the WHEELADDICT approached me to create a new title animation for his Youtube channel. Ricardo wanted to showcase all his family members along with his new skatepark/office.

As his Wheeladdict brand gained more notoriety in the skating industry we established to work with the Wheeladdict colors. I created the idea of the viewer getting inside the WHEELLADDICT shop/skatepark and seeing Ricardo in action practicing what he loves best, traveling through a sea of packages and meeting his wife and business partner, Janice, we would then meet Ricardo in a dance act with his wife and through his mobile phone, we would get introduced to his whole family in the final package shot.

I created five characters, Ricardo Lino his wife the two daughters and Alex the helper (he ended up on being redundant in the animation)

I used Cinema 4D for modeling, texturing, animate and Redshift for final render, I also used Zbrush for some details and to create Deco (the dog). Follows a bit of the WIP

I used Cinema 4D cartoon rig for the two main character rigs as it gave me more control on streching limbs and to animate facial expressions

For the final look I composited a redshift render with a C4D sketch and toon outline render
