The special aspect of "Zoomies" is that it was entirely drawn and animated in a VR software called Quill. Every model and effect in the scene is created by painting VR brushstrokes into the Quill 3D space and then keyframe animating their position over the timeline. The result is a very gestural, brushstroke approach to animation. It is almost a hybrid process of 3D and 2D typical animation practices.

My story for "Zoomies" is one I believe any cat owner can relate to. I began thinking about that strange little hunch-scurry-run cats do when they're very amped up. In that moment, whatever they're up to must seem so intense, but to us they look ridiculous. I decided to play off this idea and create a short animation to show all the heroic deeds our cats are performing to keep our homes safe. And then, of course, I show what our side of the events looks like. ​​​

These cats must find us so grateful...
