Escape Spy Island is a virtual escape room game developed by indie studio RUNAWAY GAMES, designed to immerse players in a high-stakes world of espionage, teamwork, and strategy. The game follows a group of top-tier spy academy students sent to a remote island as part of their final test before graduation. What begins as a simulation quickly escalates into a thrilling adventure packed with deadly traps, cryptic clues, and hidden secrets scattered across the island.
As an outsourced artist, I work on the art side to create animations and assets. Here are my responsibilities and roles in this project.

ANIMATION
For this project, I developed the animatic using Adobe After Effects, leveraging the puppet animation tool to create dynamic and expressive motion. This technique allowed for smooth transitions and character movements while maintaining the playful and stylized tone of the animation.

For this part, I focused on using simple and clear camera angles and compositions. This approach was chosen to ensure that the story is easy to follow, especially considering the lighthearted animation style and the non-realistic target audience. Keeping the shots straightforward helps maintain clarity and makes the storytelling more accessible and enjoyable for a wider range of viewers.

COLORED VERSION
Colored version, I applied colors directly to the storyboard frames. The use of vibrant and stylized coloring was intentional, following the direction to create a more cartoonish and non-realistic look. This approach helps enhance the playful tone of the animation and makes the visuals more appealing for the target audience.
