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.

MG | Monkeying Around
Deep Sky collaborated with New Amsterdam Film Company and MG on their latest spot titled ‘Monkey Business’. We utilized our in-house CGI chimpanzee model on this rad and ambitious 30-second international spot. While we’ve have had several years experience animating and compositing digital animals (particularly chimps), this spot had a load of welcome challenges. From moving cameras, moving objects, interactions … Read More
