Vrachtwagen Inspectietraining - Consequence Animations

Enversed Studios built a VR training for Midpoint Brabant and Chr. Vermeer Transport that teaches truck drivers how to do a proper pre-trip inspection: checking cargo, documents, cab condition, lighting, and trailer coupling on two fully simulated trucks. Instead of just marking a checklist item right or wrong, the training shows trainees what actually happens if that check gets skipped. My job was to make those "what happens if you miss this" moments: 5 short 2D animations, one for each inspection scenario, played as the payoff when a trainee gets something wrong or wants to see the consequence for themselves.

I got a script and a rough storyboard for each of the 5 scenarios, describing what should happen and why it mattered for road safety: a loose wheel coming off in traffic, a trailer catching fire because of a dangerous goods issue, a badly loaded truck tipping over on a roundabout, cargo shifting because a door wasn't closed properly. I used existing flat isometric artwork in Illustrator and animated each scenario in After Effects, working out the specific staging, timing, and camera moves for every clip myself within the direction I was given. With 5 separate scenarios to get through in a week, I reused a consistent visual language (isometric roads, intersections, and a warehouse yard) so each new animation could be built quickly without starting from scratch.

5 short isometric 2D animations, each showing the real-world consequence of one specific inspection mistake, from a blown tire to a truck rolling onto its side. They play inside the VR training whenever a trainee misses that check, turning an abstract checklist item into something they can actually see go wrong.

The VR training is still in use for driver inspection training. Because it's a VR project first, the 2D animations had to work as a small, self-contained piece within a much bigger production, and getting a full set of clear consequence scenarios done inside a single week was a good exercise in working fast without the visual quality slipping.
