Brief Explanation

A zookeeper takes a well earned break and unwraps a Kit Kat. The Hippo responds excitedly and begins to beatbox. The zookeeper is surprised but then begins to dance along with the beat boxing Hippo.

Creative Execution

This is an original score produced by karla Henwood and Blair Joscelyne at Nylon Studios. The beat boxer we commissioned is named MENYU, we recorded him via ISDN to New York and worked extensively to match his beat boxing to the mouth movements of the animated hippo.
