Normally, I’d never feature unfinished work. But when you sell a concept involving eyeballs popping out of a guy’s head and bouncing around a mystical world of anime, horror and sci-fi, you kinda want to show it off. Plus, you deserve a treat for digging this deep into the archives. We partnered with an amazing group of nerds in Los Angeles named Gentleman Scholar to bring these guys to life. They created the animation test above. A few of my favorite parts are gif-ified below:

We were partway into developing the look and feel of the eyeballs and the individual worlds when VRV’s ad budget was slashed. Enjoy the eye candy.
