Google is always innovating and this time with a new feature for its Pixel phones called Call Screen. This new feature allows you to know the incoming calls on your Pixel cell phone and gives you the possibility of accepting them or not before your phone rings.
Working as a freelance I had the opportunity to participate in this series of videos with the Edelman team and I was in charge of the animation of this feature.
The main idea with this animation was showing the calls traveling trying to reach the phone. Some of them will be blocked and just only one could enters in the phone. A graphic designer from the Edelman team did the final design and illustration. I was involved in the initials ideation meetings and of course I did the entire animation.
This animation also had to be adjusted to different sizes for different platforms and purposes such as 1: 1, 16: 9 and 9:16. Some example of the resizes below.
Besides the Call Screen feature animation I was in charge of the Google logo closing animation. Below are some of the storyboard proposals.
This was the storyboard of the selected proposal used to animate the Google logo closing animation. This animation was used in the other video features.
