Dive into the vibrant universe of Deep Sky’s latest creations, featuring a stunning compilation of our latest 2D animation and 3D character animations.

Superplastic | Janky & Guggimon TikToks Animations

When you’re scrolling through TikTok and Instagram, it’s hard to miss our friends Janky, Guggimon, and Dayzee of SUPERPLASTIC showing up across limited edition vinyl drops, NFTs, video games & more. We had the pleasure of working with SUPERPLASTIC to produce animated content for their virtual influencer’s social media accounts.

Early on, we adapted SUPERPLASTIC’s pipeline and improved upon our own specifically for these characters to produce a wide range of content needed each week. Working with the SUPERPLASTIC team requires building and sharing environments, props, custom characters, rigging, animation, effects, and more. Our team may focus on lighting, effects, rendering, and compositing for some content, while other content requires taking SUPERPLASTIC’s concepts and seeing them through to final delivery. While some character work is keyframe animation, both teams regularly utilize Xsens and Faceware motion capture systems. All to create a cohesive, chaos-infused universe in which these virtual influencers live.

It’s the Little Things | Animated short

Deep Sky’s first installment of its animated anthology It’s The Little Things – originally released as the 2022 holiday short. Our 2D film gained over 500K views and over 60K likes on Instagram and TikTok within a two week period.

The short follows a homesteading frog settling in for a cozy evening in his log cabin during a mild and peaceful winter. Inspiration for the visual style is “cottagecore” aesthetics combined with our production team’s nostalgic perspective of their “coziest memories of winters spent at home.” Various works, including Over the Garden Wall, The Wind and the Willows, and Studio Ghibli’s famous food scenes, were also influential.

Big Wild | ‘OMGarden’ Music Video

We partnered again with the legendary Portland-based motorcycle apparel company ICON Motosports to create this haunting social media animation promoting the release of their Airflite 4Horsemen helmet. Inspired by the helmet’s artwork and animated in the style of the 1970s Lord of the Rings film, this short brings Conquest, War, Famine, and Death into terrifying reality.

Our longtime partner Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group needed to bring a sinfully exciting look to their new goth/nu-metal/alternative music festival Sick New World Fest in Las Vegas.

ICON Motosports | Soul Food

We partnered with the legendary Portland-based motorcycle apparel company ICON Motosports to create this wild social media animation promoting the release of the Beastie Bunny helmet. This style was inspired by the classic Warner Bros animations, as we get a glimpse into the cotton-tailed concocter’s laboratory where he is piecing together his abomination-creation. Starting with both rigged and hand-animated characters, we added electricity effects to highlight the monster’s transformation. ICON is known for it’s beautiful helmet designs, but this video engaged with their fans on a whole new level.
