"Look Around You" tells the story of 4 mothers showing their young the importance of appreciating your environment. This song was the theme of "Environment," where a young girl, a rock, a fish, and a bird are all personified - this is about acknowledging all of the little things around us, and how they make us who we are." - Taylor Eigsti

Role of Production & Animation Assistance

As both the producer and animation assistant, I was responsible for aligning the team with the project’s timeline, ensuring that all stages of production met the deadlines. This involved organizing the flow of tasks, coordinating with animators and the creative director, and managing assets. Additionally, as an animation assistant, I supported the animation team by assisting with the creation of some of the scenes, like the credits, animating the fish saying "Look Around You", and drawing some frames like the mother and the daugher in the end of the music video, also helping with some technical aspects of animation, and ensuring continuity throughout the process. My focus was on keeping the production organized, maintaining communication across the team, and making sure we met our delivery goals while staying true to the creative vision.

The animation team was instrumental in bringing "Look Around You" to life, with each member contributing to the visual storytelling. Isabella "Isamorix" Moriconi led the animation direction, providing the creative vision that guided the project. Antonia "Toti" Quintiliano brought her expertise in mixed media and animation, helping shape the visual direction. The animation was brought to life by animators Arthur Botafogo (1st Animator), and Rodrigo "Digdin" DeFreitas (2nd Animator), with me, Iris Inoue, assisting in both production and animation.
