We partnered with Nickelodeon and Nick Jr to create an animated short teaching kids the importance of putting on sunscreen. There was a lot of dancing and singing involved (mostly us).

The piece snagged a 2020 Kidscreen Award for Best Short Film! Kidscreen celebrate the year’s best work in kids television and digital media.
We had some fun reimagining various characters from the Nick and Nick Jr lineup. Here’s a look starting with some of the early sketches.
We created large background scenes using many different art techniques to create a DIY world. The clouds are photographed cotton balls, the sand is sandpaper that we scanned in, and hand-painted textures fill almost every shape.
