The five minute animation piece features modern, simple and colourful character design and a pacey soundtrack that compliments the humorous story.

Director Asterokid said, "Deadlines were extremely tight so we tried to approach the character design process in a different way. This time we went straight into 3D, working with cubes to get the right proportions and shapes for the characters. This worked well as it enabled us to skip the process of translating 2D sketches in to 3D. Once we were happy with the design, it was ready to go."
