A peek at the process and the star! 🧑‍🎨🤍

He’s the guide who ensures all our animations are world-class.

Guedi Absiyeh, our Animation Supervisor, smiles and waves at the camera from his desk in the Spirit Bridge Studio office in Coventry, UK. He is sitting in front of two monitors in the studio’s historic Canal Warehouse location.

An over the shoulder shot, Guedi Absiyeh is in deep focus, using a stylus to draw a Bucky the Unicorn Bear on a large graphics tablet. His second monitor shows Bucky’s character design sheets for the same project.

Watching the soul of a scene emerge! 🎨➡️💖

Guedi, our animation sup, takes us from a quiet storyboard to this fully breathing moment. We love the journey from line to light.

Little peek at what our 2D art team is cooking up for the Bucky the Unicorn Bear intro.

Having so much fun building out the weird and wonderful corners of the Land of Zzz!

Indeed...he started with one pixel...one thing leads to another and BAM...He is broke. I wonder if this is mentioned in his records at L.A.W. (he sure owns Scratch money but how much, we do not know yet)
But would he kill others for money? Hard to say 🤔

Finally finished season three of Squid Game. To my suprise it was a good ending...not perfect but good enough. Hopefully they do not continue with a fourth season.

The best kind of meeting: coffee, good people, and a table full of hand drawn storyboards for Bucky the Unicorn Bear. This is the good stuff! Big things are brewing… watch this space! 💯💜

That is natural. But the positive aspect of all this...you remember the best moments where you are going instead of the feelings you had while travelling.
I wish you a great time and loads of fun 😊👍
