From Storyboard to Blender: Behind the Escape Room Booking Animated Musical

Storyboards and 3D renders from the animated musical we made in Blender in 2023 for an online escape room booking startup.

In 2023 we made an animated musical for an online escape room booking platform, a film that had to match the mood of the startup’s audience: people who love thrills, puzzles and a good scare.

On paper first

Every shot was drawn on paper before it reached the software. The storyboard set the camera angle, where the characters stand and how they move through the escape room, so the picture would keep time with the music. In the images below, each storyboard frame sits next to the final render of the same shot.

Built in Blender

Before AI took off, OKO TEAM specialised in 2D and 3D animation, working in tools like Blender. The escape room sets, the characters and the dark green lighting of this film were all built in Blender and companion software. The image below shows the models and scenes before final materials and lighting.
