Swelter

An animated short in time for the upcoming summer heat, something for us at the Austin, TX-based Awesome-Robo HQ to look forward to. In an essentially abandoned town, a man and child take a little bit of water from a fire hydrant. An ominous hooded figure approaches. The child, in his determination for hydration, gets a little ballsy. The character design is an interesting simplistic-yet-stylized hybrid, with the many shades of orange driving the idea of unbearable heat home.
