Animated serial for the 'Moscow24' TV channel.
This is a story about the mascot of the TV channel, a cat named Bublik and his owner Natasha. The characters live in the center of Moscow and every day they cover the latest news and joke about that.
As the videos were released every day, we decided to make the characters and locations as collage, so that we could quickly change the arrangement of objects and make animations.
Cat.
We added a drawn mouth to the realistic cats picture, so that it was a reference to famous popular memes. Additional elements were added as needed.
