The World According to Spoons by Makenna Judy
The World According to Spoons is a 2D animation that follows the crazy and funny antics of Spoons the cat (Makenna’s pet). The project aims to bring laughter to the audience as well as show off a variety of animation skills.
I decided to create a 2D animation exploring the life and antics of my cat, Spoons. My favorite style of animation is 2D and this project will be a demonstration of my skills of this art form. The style of the animation is a minimalist style where Spoons will be the main focus through character and set design. The set designs/background is a solid color, and all sets are hand drawn to give a “sketchy” feel like older animations from 1950’s and 60’s. The animation is divided into short segments, or scenes, that do not follow a chronological order. This allowed me to work with the plot and order, leading to easy fixes on speed and tone. There is a voice over created using a text to speech AI. This, combined with sound effects gathered from copyright-free sources and from Spoons herself, makes up the sound design of the animation.
