Title: Monsters of Minor Inconvenience
Studio: DCM Motion
My roles: Animator, 2D rigger, VO, Writer
Whille all the serious jobs have been taken by the big monsters and demons…what's left is all the annoying little things in life. These little monsters represent low level, every day annoyances. Not big stuff. Just annoying. They are Monters of Minor Inconvenience!
I needed an excuse to make some short form animated content, and this turned out to be quite a successful route. The first few short clips have been released and well received with more on the way in 2026 - after which a full length video that is already storyboarded will be released.
The animation has been done using a mixture of rigs in After Effects and handrawn animation. The rigs have been design to easily reuse for monsters with different features, colours and accessories making production relatively quick when using tweened animation. Please see some of the first clips below.
