As a studio we're always interested in trying new techniques that brings something unique to each project. For instance having a combination of 2D animated and painted FX backgrounds for some scenes, and keeping some initial concepts as much as possible in the final film. We were thrilled when the Azuki team approached us to create this hype-piece. We knew that we had to do something special, and with the amazing work and support of the crew this is nothing short of "WOAH!". We couldn’t have done it without them!
