The scenes towards the end utilize animation techniques from 90's cartoon slapstick from shows such as Spongebob Squarepants and Rocco's Modern Life. For the film's musical soundtrack, I utilized GarageBand to create the mood and tone for my scenes, as the music is just as important as the animation. I wanted to drive the feelings of comfort further in the opening segments, incorporating smooth jazz and simple percussion. For the ending sequence, I wanted to do a...
