“Yuki 7” Series Trailer by Chromosphere

After three years of internal development, Los Angeles visual and creative laboratory Chromosphere is about to drop a dashing three-episode animated mini-series starring super-spy Yuki 7, her talking cat, and a rocket-powered turtle man.

Based on a character by Chromosphere founder/CD Kevin Dart and produced in-house by EPs Elizabeth Ito (City of Ghosts, Adventure Time) and Karen Dufilho (Epic Games, Google, Pixar), Yuki 7 premieres online August 26th.

Kevin Dart: “We’ve spent years developing techniques for working in a hybrid, hyper-stylized 2D/3D animation style, and this project is the culmination of everything we’ve learned.

“We wanted to have the most fun possible with no limitations, which is how we ended up with rough and sketchy 3D models, 2D effects, and enough sweet halftone and raster line patterns to last a lifetime.

“It’s a brand new technique with lots of vintage and retro inspiration, a real mashup of styles. We had so much fun making this, and I really hope it’s fun for people to watch.”
