Bet you didn’t think those ‘under the counter’ graphics and animations could be so… saucy! Skwigly is, however, putting a fresh spin on 3D animation making it not just all fireworks and battles, but showing it can also be deeply personal, sensitive, and yes, a little cheeky! So, get ready to navigate through tweens and morphs in a whole different light. Honestly, it’s like Disney’s ‘Inside Out’, but for animation – unmasking a new perspective to make you think, ‘Oh, I’ve never looked at the Bezier tool like that…’.
