  • And now a little behind the scenes...




  • Arcelia Ocana took this picture while helping me out shoot the title sequence
  • Before sending animation to render, I animated the intensity and color of lights on the compositing software, and this is a test of it.
  • This is one of the early 2D line-tests I did to understand better the character and the shot, before touching the computer.
  • Frame of Mr. Lightbulb breaking lever beat, from a 2D line-test.
  • Frame of Mr. Lightbulb melting, from a 2D line-test.
  • Frame of Mr. Lightbulb getting somewhat crazy, from a 2D line-test.
  • Some planning thumbnails, where I explored all the ways to approach it, and got to decide my acting choices.
  • This is one of the tension beats, it was really important to understand how much Mr. Lightbulb would press on each try, depending on how stressed it was.
  • Figuring out what the phrasing should be for the beginning of the shot.
  • One of the reasons why I love doing this, is looking for reference, you can find the coolest random stuff in this world :D. This one helped me out to figure out how should Mr. Lightbulb melt.
  • Some more studies for finding the best way to melt Mr. Lightbulb.
  • This is a funny reaction from accidentally breaking my friends broom, I liked so much the reaction that I ended up using the essence of the expressions, on Mr. Lightbulb.
