“The Amazing world of Gumball” uses the gumball effect, where the backgrounds are raster images (real life images) an 2d animated characters added into these environments.
This show inspired me to use a similar method in my project to show the integration between reality and children’s imagination.
Concept Art
These are the conceptual sketch of the classroom integrated with poorly executed CGI to create an effect that complements a child’s imagination. My mockumentary will be an integration of 2D characters and 3D backgrounds.

‘Ugly’ by Nikita Diamur is the prime example of how poorly CGI’d videos can be oddly satisfying and create an impact po the viewer. She does this by making things look ugly and combining dynamic simulations and puppeteering to create linear, interactive and random animation.
