Who are you?

Accepted Answer

Question 2

What is Natural Habitat Shorts?

Accepted Answer

Natural Habitat Shorts is a series of animated videos on Tiktok, Instagram, and Twitter. The characters were orignally created by Brennan in college.   The original concept was to create a 1-3 minute short interviewing real world grocery store employees and customers. The goal was to form a mockumentary style narrative out of the dialogue and intercut animal talking head segments with b-roll of them wreaking havoc. Because we had full time jobs, we reconsidered the length of our videos and found that TikTok and Instagram reels were the perfect medium for short form animation.

Question 3

What program do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use Blender, a free 3D software. We also use After Effects for editing and Procreate for backgrounds and 2D animation.
