Holy City

Creative Direction / AI / Animation Series
When Rob dies in a freak accident caused by a clumsy immortal, he's offered a deal: shadow departments in a cosmic bureaucracy to prove he can handle responsibility, and maybe earn his life back. Until then, he's juggling divine assignments, eccentric coworkers, and the chaos of everyday New York life.

Cast of Characters
I used AI to generate initial concepts for the overall look and feel of the show. This involved mixing styles and prompting elements to arrive at the desired results. From here I worked to recreate the characters via Illustrator for animation tests in After Effects. I'll utilized AI again to find interesting movements/animation styles for a more original concept, look, and feel.

Comedic Material
The show aims to pull from two main comedic sources.

New York City life

The learning curve for any new transplant into the city is huge.... and comical. The diversity of people, places, interactions, etc are endless.

Organized Religion

Religion brings its own baggage along for the ride. Using an established set of characters we can have a bit of an edge while setting up flashbacks, historical moments, memories (God literally has seen and been everywhere), so there is an abundance of opportunity.
