UGC + 2D Cartoon Animated Ad

A 30-second UGC and 2D cartoon animation hybrid ad created to make an e-commerce product feel relatable, fun, and highly engaging.

The concept combines a UGC-style storytelling approach with colorful 2D cartoon animation to follow the customer journey of ordering a pair of designer sneakers — from the excitement of placing the order and impatiently tracking the delivery to the satisfying unboxing and try-on moment.

The animated character, Zoya, brings the UGC-style story to life through expressive facial reactions, relatable body language, and playful visual moments, while the animated product shots and UI elements highlight the sneakers in a dynamic, social-media-friendly way.

Key Features
UGC-inspired storytelling
2D cartoon character animation
Expressive facial reactions and body movements
Animated product reveal and unboxing sequence
E-commerce website and tracking UI animation
Fast-paced social media ad editing
Product-focused visual storytelling
Vibrant teal, coral, and white visual style
Strong branded CTA and Shop Now ending

The result is a hybrid UGC-style product ad that combines the authenticity and relatability of UGC with the visual creativity of custom 2D animation — making the product story more entertaining, memorable, and conversion-focused.

Really curious about your process here. Did you start with a storyboard or go straight into motion?

CHANNEL 13 📺👁️ A found-footage horror scene you play through smart glasses.

You open a moldy fridge full of roaches, grab a warm beer, sink into a ruined couch and turn on an old CRT. Every zap, something hooded and faceless gets a little closer in the static. On channel 13 it rushes the glass… and then it comes out. 🎧 Sound on.

How I built it: • Rive CLI: the whole scene is written in RML with a coding agent (Claude Code), built and checked with rive --verify / inspect / screenshot, then pushed to the Rive editor • GPU Canvas (WGSL): two shaders. A smart-glasses lens pass over the whole frame (fisheye, chromatic split, low-light grain, light-buzz flicker, digital glitch) and a cursed CRT shader (B/W analog snow, scanlines, rolling bar, vertical-hold slips, the figure bulging the glass, procedural spider-web cracks, power-off collapse) • Luau scripting: story timing and "dread" level, channels and subliminal flashes, flying glass shards • Data binding: one Story view model shared across artboards, a Broadcast view model driving the TV • State machines: beat timelines, roach and bulb loops, 13 channels, all sound cues • Audio: 22 sound effects, zero music. Fridge hum, buzzing bulb, roaches, footsteps, CRT whine, whispers, heartbeat, screamer, shattering glass

Uses both the CLI and GPU Canvas.

I've been having a lot of fun helping Splice "gamify" their usually tech-heavy content. Turns out some neon graphics, over-the-top sound effects, and a well timed fart joke is really all you need to change the vibe. 🤪
