animation exploration

One of the (fingers crossed) animation projects Nikki and I will be writing for had it’s kick-off meeting recently. We got to meet the animators and the executive producer, got briefed on the concept, read the series bible and watched the trailer.

Unlike our previous animation project, Simeon Rex, this one’s concept and conceit charmed us instantly. The NDA prevents me from talking about it with any detail, but suffice it to say that it this is an endeavor we can’t wait to get a crack at. There is only one thing that we’re all waiting for, it’s absence can break the project into smithereens.

In the course of getting to know each other, the animators showed us their portfolio – previous work they’d done as well as other concepts and test animations. I was delighted to know that they were the animators for the horny cockroaches ad that was the talk of the town some time ago.
