John Pool is our original studio IP, where we explored dynamic and humorous elements through playful character designs and brilliant camera work. With simplified, curved lines, we created a light yet impactful look, while still maintaining energy and dynamism in every scene. Inspired by fearless, irreverent heroes, John Pool combines action and humor, featuring characters designed to captivate and entertain audiences, setting us apart as creators pushing the boundaries of animation
The background features towering skyscrapers and an open sky, creating a dramatic setting for an intense chase through the air. By combining 3D backgrounds with 2D animation, we were able to seamlessly integrate the characters as they fall through the sky, making their high-speed pursuit feel fluid and dynamic. This approach gave us the freedom to create epic, immersive scenes that heightened the tension and excitement of the chase
Props are extensions of a character’s personality, designed to add depth and storytelling. John Pool’s firearms reflect his chaotic nature, while Pigeon’s pristine katana reveals his silent strength. Each prop plays a crucial role in shaping character identity and enriching the narrative
In compositing, we seamlessly blended the 3D backgrounds with 2D animation to create a smooth, immersive experience. This allowed the characters to flow effortlessly through the sky, heightening the intensity of the chase. By layering the elements with precision, we ensured that every shot felt dynamic and cohesive, with the environment and characters perfectly integrated to enhance the emotional impact of the sequence
