I loved working on this project! I was responsible for:

• Creating wacky pixel personas for the film’s main characters (Aseprite)
• Visual design – Pixel logo, background, effects
• Storyboard and animatic (Storyboard Pro)
• Pixel animation and compositing (Godot Engine + Aseprite Wizard)
• Original 90s-style game music — Sega Genesis meets Barbie PC game
• Sound design and video editing

Process

I animated the graphics in Godot Engine, using the Aseprite Wizard plugin to efficiently add the characters directly from Aseprite! This method opened the door to create an authentic retro look — a CRT shader, game-like particle effects, and pixel-snapped motion and rotation.

Animatic

Many of the graphics were created for both widescreen and portrait formats.
