OBKI
TV Series
Client: Sky Kids
studio: Ritzy animation
OBKI IS HERE: he is goofy, loud and a bit bonkers, but he deeply cares about the future of our planet! I spent 9 months in 2021 directing this original TV series for Sky TV (in collaboration with Sky Zero), and couldn't be prouder of what our awesome team at Ritzy Animation managed to achieve! Big shout out to all the incredible artists I've had the opportunity to work with during this creative journey. OBKI is now available on Sky Kids and NOW TV! Go watch it if you can, it's good eco-friendly fun for the whole family! Please find some juicy behind-the-scenes here!
