Episode XV! A film taking place at school naturally requires painting a lot of school benches.
Snowy Bench | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #14

Here, we painted just a hint of sunshine hitting the darkened rooftop, slightly teasing what’s behind it and hinting what the bird wants our main character to see.
Bathroom | Painting Backgrounds for Animation #09
To emphasize the drama of the scene it was used in, we wanted to give this bathroom a cold, sterile and slightly unsettling look. That’s why everything looks clean and symmetrical, and why we designed the faucets to have a strange, yet elegant shape.
