Creative Direction: a "retro" game, abandoned for many years, is rediscovered sometime in the future — this project imagines what that futuristic player finds.
To set up the "character section" screen, I created a 3D environment in After Effects setting up a kind of "lazy susan" (null object) on which the characters can rotate on. This creates the effect that the video game user is scrolling through the different characters available to play as.
