Kya! Animation @kyaanimation - Tumblr Blog

{✿} It’s been wild, thanks for the ride! P.S. Yeah, they fixed the little toy wagon.

P.P.S. You can now buy the official poster for Petals as a high quality glicée print and/or phone case!

Thank you all so much for watching Petals! We worked our butts off to make it, and it’s been incredible to see such a positive response to this humble little story and these silly characters we created. We’re almost at 800K views on youtube, and we just want to say thank you especially to all of you who have commented, shared and liked the video. I have a little surprise if we ever reach one million views, so stay tuned for that :)

On a side note, it’s a little hard to keep up with all the comments on youtube, so it’s better to reach Kay and/or me on twitter or tumblr if you have any questions or comments about the film. We’re a little busy with an animation commission at the moment, but we’ll try to respond asap. Regarding that commission, we’ll post some updates about that on our studio’s blog when we’re able so you can see what it’s all about. (We’ll make an official announcement later, but for those of you who were interested: yes, we do take animation commissions occasionally, so feel free to reach out to us about any project ideas you might have.)

Once again, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts! ♥ We’ll keep trying our best in all our different projects, and I hope we’ll see you along for the ride!

We’re happy to finally share this with you! Petals is our animated thesis film about an idealistic bunny, a cynical cat, and a flower that ties their lives together. It was designed as a tool to promote moral and environmental values in children, and it was released on November 29th, 2016.

Petals was created by my partner Kay Dominguez and myself, Andie Gallo, with an original score composed by Stijn van Wakeren. Kay and I worked together on the story and animation, and then he worked separately on the storyboards, character designs and inking, while I was in charge of color, lighting, and background designs.
