Poor Dave

A mini-series about Dave, a blue puppet just trying to survive the zombie apocalypse while getting relentlessly nagged by his older sister — loosely inspired by Carolyn's dynamic with her own younger brother, sibling roles flipped. Co-created with Daniela Dwek, who came back with puppet models built the day after the first pitch.

Storyboarded the old-fashioned way — rough sketches sketched on notecards and cut together — then shot a traditional layout pass with the puppets before using the first and last frame of each shot as image prompts to generate AI texture, shading, and rendering on top of the original art and animation. Now leading a team of ten artists through that same hybrid AI / 3D pipeline for a full animated sitcom.
