Pet Rescue Puzzle Saga is part of the Pet Rescue franchise developed by King. We were approached with a storyboard for a series of in-game cinematics and tasked with translating it into a finished production that aligned with the established visual identity.

 

Cinematic had not previously produced in-game cinematics (kind of funny, we know), so we saw this as a natural extension of our animation work. The recent character redesign made the project particularly engaging, and careful attention was paid to remaining faithful to the original designs while elevating the overall presentation.

 

To achieve a polished look within the scope, we developed an advanced rigging setup in After Effects capable of emulating a 3D aesthetic using primarily flat assets. Except for the ship and steering wheel, that was produced in 3D, everything was created through rigging and compositing, balancing visual depth with production efficiency.
