Short animation (commission)

10/06/2025
This was a commission from a content creator, who gave us the design of his character (a bulldog in a blue suit). We were to place him in different situations based on the videos he provided as references. We would use the audio from these videos as the basis for a short animation.
In my case, it was a sketch about the things mothers think their children do when they scold them versus the things children actually do when they scold them.
Each part of the sketch was created separately to best adapt it to the simplistic style the content creator requested, as well as to allow for a more clean look in the movements, squash, stretching, and lip-syncing.

The design of the character's mother was entirely my own work, approved by the content creator for use in this short.
During the video's editing, zooms were added to different shots to make them more dynamic.
