And then, but at the same time, I was like, I am out of my element here, like time wise, like I need to ask for help.

And I suck at asking for help.

But my friend Alex Liu, amazing, amazing Houdini artist, I've done tons of titles with him and just hit him up and was like, as if he wouldn't say yes, but I was like, I need help.

And he's like, dude, we always do this stuff together.

But what was really interesting and cool about this process was that it was not like, hey, you must do this.

I had all of these categories of things we could explore.

And I like sort of the simplicity of some of it, like the Man V Nike reference that now is kind of retro and dated, but there is this element of speed and excitement of just cool little experiments with some art directed color.

And it wasn't like, do that.

But I was like, Alex, just play with stuff you wanted to play with.

And he's been doing some, I don't even remember how he described it.

And so he just started making his own stuff for this process section and just let the cook cook.

Well, you know, everybody works differently.

I like to be kind of more emotional and stressy and existential with my inner chaos and what does this all mean?

Alex is completely different.

He's just much more technical as an artist and he just was like...

I was like, yeah, we'll just use their color palette, throw it on at the end.

Here's a lighting setup that's consistent.

Now, you know, do what you want to do and see what you can do and find.

And he started making piles and piles of stuff.

And, you know, in the real life, considerations came up like, is it quick enough?
