In this short, we follow Frank and Todd in their infomercial for an antenna TV. If they can't sell the TV fast enough, then their animation budget will continue to deplete until there's nothing of them left. Will they sell it in time?
The idea for the short came from a combination of character writing, a want to subvert the expectations of both a shopping infomercial as well as an animation short, and a want to tell a complete story within the time allotted. The animation was completed by creating artwork in Paint Tool Sia and later editing everything together in Pinnacle Studio 18, with some voice work completed using Audacity. Thank you for the opportunity for me to showcase this labor of love, and I hope you enjoy.
