The character designs were tailored to resonate with our target demographic—Gen Z and Millennials, ensuring they felt relatable and authentic. For the sequence itself, we employed a graphic approach that emphasizes the heightened emotions the character experiences, balancing these intense feelings with subtle comedic moments to maintain the light-hearted nature of the project.
