Our Process

From concept to completion, Impact handled every step in the AR production process. For the video component, we executed the entire filming process. We wrote the script, created storyboards, designed all the graphics, cast the talent, researched and selected wardrobe, conducted the shoot, and handled all post-production and compositing. Our design team also created the AR trigger art and the app interface design. And our project manager and editor worked with the development team to program, test and roll-out the app.

Pulling It All Together

The AR experience includes both live action and animated illustrations. During a fun but busy shoot, we filmed our actress in front of a green screen. In postproduction, we composited the final images that appear in the app by marrying footage of our actress with animated elements.
