The story
In the middle of the pandemic, a Paramount Plus series, No Activity, had to stop production. The actors couldn't film. So they made a big call: animate a whole season.
That was my first project with Agora Studio. And it had to come out fast. They put together a big team and split it in two: some animated the body, others the facial part. I was on the facial team.
We had a pose library, so the challenge was nailing the expressions without slowing production down. That's why the whole thing is animated in stepped. You set this pose, you set the next one, and you work out how to connect them, without getting lost in every transition. That let us make fast decisions and keep moving.
It ended up a full animated season, made against the clock.
