Johnny Softspot Teaser
We made this project in Toon Boom Harmony to display rigging, animation, and composition skills. Jason Collins and Jack Moroney have worked together before and developed enough of the Johnny Softspot before the final year. We thought that it was a good project to develop as there would be less confusion over direction.
We chose Toon Boom Harmony as it’s the best for the rigged animation style we’re going for and we are equally as aware of the fundamental tools of the software. In addition, this production allows us to extend our knowledge in Harmony furthering our employability by Irish animation studios that use it.
In terms of the story of the Johnny Softspot, Jason and Jack created Johnny to be a marketable television show that they intended to pitch. Creating a teaser, which is Act 1 of the show’s pilot, will help display that they can create it to potential studios could fund the idea.
