It was essential to make the animation feel tactile, alive with the same energy Mercury brings to your business. We leaned into the quality of human-touched textures, ones that left you wondering if they were hand-painted frame by frame.

Process

We drew inspiration from risograph printing for the characters and oil paint strokes for the environments. By blending these traditional textures with a clean, graphic style and seamless transitions, we created a look that feels both modern and timeless.
