This light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek promo for Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters captures to the fun and humor of the beloved Dragon Ball franchise. With a tight budget and even tighter schedule, my role in producing this item was widespread, include Storyboarding, Direction of both On-Screen and Voice Talent, Wardrobe, and editing. I was also tasked with compiling the pitch presented to Toei Animation, the series’ Japanese licensors. Toei is naturally protective of their flagship title, so our team was delighted to get the green light for such a project, given its very loose and wacky aesthetic.
