It was animated in a style reminiscent of Incredibles movie from a few years back. We follow the story of a frustrated cubical jockey frustrated with his work until he stumbles upon a vending machine full of Kitkats. It was for Internet distribution, so there was no constraint on its duration. Akama Studio had a team of 16 digital artists on this project. 3 for character modeling, 3 for set modeling, 6 for animation, 4 for lighting and rendering, and 2 character designers in pre production. The main roles are: a young employee in difficulty, an evil boss, a top manager and a beautiful blond secretary, in short, the ideal ingredients to make the story relevant for a broad public base.
