About this Project
Project Overview
Catalytica is a gritty, 30-second motion-comic teaser that lampoons catalytic-converter theft and “green-washed” hustlers. Working with LA-based creator Bryce M., Maveristic transformed static noir panels into a vertical trailer ready for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube. The short introduces Kip (disillusioned inspector), Blaze (crypto hype-man), and Twyla (muscle) as they profit from stolen converters under the glow of neon yoga studios and wellness expos.
Scope of Work
Storyboard refinement & script polish
AI-assisted panel art + manual paint-overs (10 key frames)
Subtle motion design (pans, zooms, freeze-frame impacts)
Custom VO casting and direction (Declan Sage / Josh)
Royalty-free dark-synth score + handcrafted SFX bed
Caption & title animation, two aspect ratios (9:16 + 16:9)
Final mastering & QC for social platforms
Process & Approach
Discovery & Toneboard – Locked noir palette, reference comics, pacing goals.
AI Art + Paint-overs – Generated panels in Midjourney / DALL·E; detailed paint in-house.
Motion Pass – Layered parallax, tool sparks, and drone flares in After Effects.
VO Production – ElevenLabs voice prototype ➜ studio-clean takes; synced to beats.
Sound Design – 80 BPM dark synth pulse, saw-whir ambience, metallic stingers.
Vertical-first Delivery – Reframed 1:1 art into 9:16 canvas; secondary 16:9 render.
Client Reviews – Two focused rounds; final approval within one week.
Storytelling
Over the course of ten days, Catalytica moved from a rough storyboard to a publish-ready trailer. In the first two days, we refined the script and locked the noir palette. The next three saw our artists generate missing panels with AI, then hand-paint details for uniform grit. By day six, the first motion pass was in place, followed quickly by a VO swap—Kip’s pivotal line became “You’re free now.” With voice tracks approved, we spent day eight layering dark-synth music, metallic SFX, and caption animations before exporting preview cuts in 9:16 and 16:9. Bryce signed off on day nine, leaving glowing reviews on Google and Trustpilot. Day ten wrapped with a new rate-card and the groundwork for an ongoing partnership.
