Broken Pencil Studios was hired by a technology company to create complex animations that combined live footage with supplemental animations. The first project involved creating 3D footprints with messages and a fabricated space to show data points collected from a runner. The animation transitioned into a different runner, requiring a fully rendered 3D model. Despite the complexity, Broken Pencil delivered beyond expectations. For the second project, they created "infinite worlds" as overlays for existing footage, allowing a person to move through different video game worlds. The project was praised for its uniqueness and adherence to the company's vision.

The selection of Broken Pencil Studios as the vendor was based on a recommendation from a previous animator/producer. The project process involved initial meetings to discuss the company's requirements and the feasibility of the animations. The client was impressed by Broken Pencil's ability to expand on their ideas, making the project feel larger than the budget. They were also able to build shots in real time using Blender, which saved the project when issues were discovered with the target. The post-production process was flexible, with Broken Pencil accommodating changes and being transparent about costs.

The feedback process involved weekly check-ins with Guillermo and Vivian from Broken Pencil. These check-ins ensured the project was on the right path and allowed for adjustments, such as a reshoot and color changes to align with the brand. After the project's completion, Guillermo provided additional options and transparent elements for potential future updates. The client was satisfied with the results and used the elements as intended.
