Side Door

How It Works

We collaborated with Side Door, the world's marketplace for music artists, hosts, and audiences, to create a 2D animated video explaining why artists love using the app to connect with and perform for their fans. They have hosted concert events for artists such as Vance Joy and Madison McFerrin.

We transition by swiping from scene to scene, showing adapted UI, the band on tour, and the band in front of a live audience.

The video's design needed to convey an intimate feeling between artists, hosts, and audiences, which is why we created loose painterly characters with an emphasis on the characters' shapes and interior details. Viewers of the video needed to understand the experience of using Side Door, rather than it being explicitly explained to them.

Effects like vibrant lighting was used across many shots to unify the environment. Hue and saturation shifts made it easier for the viewer to follow the narrative of the video through multiple shots. This also helped amplify the concert experience in the featured home stages.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
