HUGGTOPUS

./visdev+compo+animation

Featured in this music video is Huggtopus from the Kimochis® universe. She embodies a delightful mix of silliness and boundless energy, occasionally going overboard with her excitement. Even though she might unintentionally invade personal space, her heartwarming nature ensures she can turn any frown upside down.

.Dani Peixe did the rough animations of the characters, following Gordon Clark and Mike Overbeck story boards and I did the visual developement, art direction, compo, vfx and animation.
Once I had the roughs on my hands, I did the clean-ups, added colors, some extra animations, types, compositing and vfx there.

.the video was directed by Nina Rappaport Rowan and Gordon Clark (and produced by Nina Rappaport Rowan)
.the music by Zach Gill (Courtesy of Brushfire Records), and sound design by David Chrastka.
