For Andy, this was an exciting challenge. He’s a director known for character-focused 2D animation mixed with bold colors and a love of 90’s art, street-skate style, and music culture. But to refine that style a bit to create something a little more realistic, even a little more feminine and fashion-oriented was a great way for Andy to expand his portfolio and showcase his range.
