This short was a tricky logistical dance of using as many assets that KDFOXX had as we could. She had a collection of voice acting sound bites for the characters, and various illustrations and sketches, for us to work with.
I poured over the material given, pared down the heart of the Animal Arithmetic story we wanted to advertise, and created the boards & animatic which we based the music video's flow from. We pushed an early 2000s "Toonami" vibe with VHS glitch vapor wave inspired aesthetics and transitions.
Early animatic I created along with Natalia Mercado, using existing illustrations and sound bites from the project
The team and I created our animations using a mix of puppet techniques and hand-drawn animation. We drew in the same style where necessary, or used DFOXX's illustrations and frame-by-frame hand drawn work. I spearheaded the idea to create backgrounds by editing together photo and video effects from stock websites.
