Animation Sequences

Episode 5 The Bad Momfluencer focuses on Machelle Hobson and her family YouTube channel “Fantastic Adventures,” following allegations of child abuse.

‍

This story could not be treated like standard recrea since it involved children, and the subject matter was too sensitive to reproduce with kids on set. So we opted for a more emotional-driven approach.

TITLE SEQUENCE

Initial storyboard exploration

A Mad Men-inspired fall, rebuilt for influencer culture. It sets the thesis of the series in one image: the higher the influence, the harder the collapse.

“
Show is doing very well. Already met all success “metrics.” I am the one who should be profusely thanking you. You did such an outstanding job. I know it was insane. Success of the show due in large part to you and your team!!
