Within: Animation

Within is an innovative virtual reality therapy platform based on emerging research on therapeutic benefits of virtual reality. The platform was conceived to revolutionize traditional therapy by providing an engaging and immersive experience. Within offers a unique adventure-style game format, transforming therapy into a fun and captivating journey of self-discovery and healing. 

Within emerged from a collaborative effort of a branding project with Patrick Dimond, the designer who developed all branding guidelines that are followed in all projects connected to Within. Dimond developed all logos, icons, typeface and color guidelines to be followed during the start-up stage of development for the brand. 

From this partnership, the startup became fleshed out to become a whimsical virtual reality world that continued to develop. During development a small portion of the worldbuilding was animated, rendered, and modeled what the virtual reality world would look like in real time. This was displayed through the use of a 3D animation that demonstrates a breathing cycle to the user that was displayed as an experiential design inside of a meditation space for a more accessible user experience. 

From idea exploration to develop a virtual reality world eventually formed the need to learn the ins-and-outs of 3D software. Over the span of multiple months, it required many revisions to get the feeling of the VRT just right.

After developments, renderings, and animations, the finalized animation was finally ready to have implemented branding, sound effects, and accompanying music. The final animation can be viewed through this video link.
