What If I Finished It Finally?

Finally I'm proud to share a pitch-project over at Time that everyone forgot about months ago. Our lovely EP found these mastermind roundtables Time had done asking them to envision a future "What If" scenario. These hour-long videos had some great ideas from smart people but they required the video to sit through an hour of people talking. I was going to take these ideas and have the freedom to express them however I wanted as a pure animation. The resulting pitch is "What If We Lived to 150 Years Old?". These project was constantly at the bottom of my order of importance, getting pushed aside at the slightest request. But through some extras hours and some love I got through creating what I set out to at the beginning. Experimenting stylistically, incorporating many types of imagery and techniques used, I think the series would be a cool one. If only I had another 4 months to make the next one....
