"We had the pleasure of working with Martian Blueberry and its brilliant director Carl Jones. Animating and designing the backgrounds was a great artistic challenge. The animation and art style was very sophisticated. The expectations were very high. I am happy to say things worked very well. Martian Blueberry is a very serious company, and they were 100% organized, polite, ethical, and committed throughout the whole process, which made working with them very enjoyable. Carl himself is a great creative and experienced director, very open to collaboration and hearing what the artists have to say. We're very proud of the work we did together, and we're definitely looking forward to jumping into more projects with them again soon."
