Bridgestone: Immersive Storytelling Exhibit at CES

Cutting-edge motion design for presenting complex technology into an engaging exhibit experience

Challenge

Bridgestone wanted to showcase its “Smart Corner” technology for electric vehicles at CES. The goal was to explain how smart tires and suspension systems with real-time sensor data improve safety, efficiency, and ride comfort, while keeping the presentation engaging and easy to understand.

My role was to create the animated media for the screens behind and below the physical vehicle chassis, develop a design system for the motion graphics, and orchestrate key moments to align perfectly with the physical exhibit. The challenge was to integrate the animations seamlessly into the road surface and rear screen, making the technology clear and immersive for attendees.

Approach

Using Cinema 4D and After Effects, I created animations that simulated driving conditions and highlighted the system responding in real time. A digital model of the exhibit was used to test and preview the content before installation, ensuring everything fit perfectly with the physical space.
