During the pandemic, our client Rondout Savings Bank decided to make an effort to assist any customers who were still relying on in-person banking as they transitioned to using on-line banking and the Rondout Savings Bank smartphone app. To help make the videos more approachable and fun, it was decided that a mascot character should be created to appear in the videos.
The character, named Ron, appeared in various videos explaining concepts including mobile check deposit, moving money between accounts, and some of the bank’s business banking solutons. Eventually, a Ron mascot costume was designed and created for use at various community events.
Ron’s design utilizes the bank’s all-blue color palette. His design is very simple, in part we wanted to keep the character’s demographics ambiguous so he’d be easier for everyone to relate to.
We worked closely with Rondout Savings Bank and handled the entire project from the initial concept to the storyboard to animating, commissioning voice talent, and selecting background music.
