Since childhood, it has been a persisting dream to one day create my own cartoon. From watching Cartoon Network as a kid before school to binging anime and adult cartoons as a teen, my love of animation inevitably led me to this point. Using my Motion Design and Open Projects class in addition to a fictional proposal approved by Adult Swim, I partially fulfilled this dream by creating a preview/teaser trailer for an adult cartoon designed and animated by myself.
Named “That Show With The Guys,” this show follows three brothers and their group of friends through laughter, sadness, and absurd interactions. This trailer uses the high school morning routine of one of the characters to suggest a few of the show's overarching themes, including monotony and mental health.
