Video -------------------- Animatic + Final to show the evolution.

The same work at two stages: the animatic (pencil sketch) approved before final animation, then the coloured final montage. The client sees the pacing and signs off before any major production cost.

Characters ------------------------- Each mood hides a memory.

Zaabeeb Power

Zaabola Speed

Zaaboon Calm

Zaabooba Mood

### Zaabeeb Uruguayan colored, the largest in body and the most powerful... his height equals the other three combined. Slow in movement... quick to anger and agitation... loves eating and cooking.

In the past, before he forgot his name and identity... he was one of the wise sages living in the high mountains. That's why, at the peak of his anger, he remembers flashes of his serenity, calmness, and wisdom, preventing him from hurting anyone within his reach.

### Zaabola Orange colored... the smallest in size and the most active and mischievous... never rests and often starts the events.

In the past, before he forgot his name and identity... he was a powerful wrestler in a world consisting entirely of wrestlers... that's why he remembers flashes of himself being crowned with a golden belt.

### Zaaboon Sky blue colored... the calmest of all and mostly asleep... doesn't participate in any conflicts no matter how much they force him.

In the past, before he forgot his name and identity... he was a secret agent in one of the most important intelligence agencies in his world... therefore, in his sleep, he sees what others are plotting and avoids the trap.

### Zaabooba Pink colored... laughs a lot and no one knows why, not even herself... but she is moody and can be seen laughing and crying in the same second.

In the past, before she forgot her name and identity... she was a queen of a prosperous kingdom... she was firm, strong, and responsible... that's why, during fights, she proudly intervenes to settle disputes.

Case Study ----------

The concept & the challengeBuilding an original comedy IP from a hard, abstract premise: four characters who have lost their memory in a world they can reshape if they remember who they are. The challenge was turning a philosophical concept into light comedy the general audience grasps in minutes.

Our approachWe gave each character one defining memory that explains their behaviour — a mountain sage, a crowned wrestler, a secret agent, a queen — so the comedy comes from these natures colliding, not from inserted jokes. We wrote the scripts, drew the animatic in pencil, then did the animation and colour fully by hand.

The outcomeSeven produced episodes plus a promo and seasonal content, and short skits placing the characters in everyday contexts on social media.

What it demonstratesIt shows the studio can develop an original comedy IP from an abstract idea to complete episodes, with a distinctive visual identity and voice.
