For Focus, animating was acute and impulsive in the same time, like mapping clouds. After countless trials, it was paramount to get back to the drawing board to make the film in one sequence.

Ingredients? Office paper on which to draw and draw until I lose it. In the realm of this story, there’s some kind of mythology of characters that reveal themselves behind the retina. Connecting with those moments was, I think, what we strived to create with amazing resources and unique talent on all steps of development.
