Their collaboration has spanned various animated projects, from 2D series like *Elliott From Earth* to music videos with crews ranging from 5 to 70 people. *Robin Robin* marked a significant step up in scale, involving around 170 people. The primary challenge was crafting a cohesive, clear, and well-paced story within a 30-minute runtime.
