︎Conceptual Development, 2D Animation, Content Production & Talent Directing
Apple Music wanted a concept to promote Independent Artists that would require the least amount of talent involvement, yet make the biggest impact. And Then was born — the social-first animated series that turns voice memos into beautifully bizarre & fantastical cartoons (in less than a week).

The challenge was simple (but hard)
How do you promote new artists’ album releases from around the world, on a weekly basis, without having their presence on set?
The solution: animated stories, reinvented.
1. We send our booked and busy artists a series of culturally-relevant,
strategically-fantastical questions.
2. Artists record their answers via Voice Memo (listen below)
3. Our group of talented storyboard artists, animators, and editors
craft together a full-animated cartoons in less than a week.
Each illustrative styles, animation, and color schemes are bespoke to our artists’ genres, origins, and languages.
