Spongebob’s Movie Test
Studio: Axis Studios
Client: NickelodeoN / Netflix
My role: Creative Lead, Animator
As "Plankton: The Movie" is now out on Netflix, I'd like to share a little pitch animation test for Nickelodeon I had the pleasure to lead (and animate too!) at Axis Studios a couple of years back. Sadly, this was also the very last project I directed at this great studio that is no more... sigh. We didn't win the pitch and another company was eventually selected to work on the film, but we had lots of fun crafting these two clips in record time and with a super talented team (while shamelessly abusing corrective blendshapes)! I hope you'll like it.
