Johan Eriksson





Cartoon Network – Wideload VacayAnimation Lead, 2D Motion2021
As Lead Animator on Wideload, I directed animation for three engaging 60-second episodes designed to entertain both kids and adults for Cartoon Network. Our bold concepts, such as a 60-foot Metal Demon Lord, garnered enthusiastic approval from the client, who encouraged us to embrace our creative instincts.

I was responsible for overseeing character design and leading a talented team of animators throughout the production process. We focused on developing a vibrant visual style and infusing humor into the narrative. By conducting animation tests, we refined our approach, ensuring that the final episodes effectively balanced comedy and storytelling within a tight timeline.
