The Adventures of Puss in Boots follows our favorite swashbuckling feline as he defends the town of San Lorenzo from those that desire its treasure. For this show, 2D cut out style animation sequences were heavily used as it allowed us to expand on the backstory of characters and mythology of the world.

This show also had one of the first interactive episodes where the viewer could make a decision for Puss. These interactive moments in the episode were going to be done in the 2D style so we had to build a rig for the 2D version of Puss. We did this in Moho which was our first major project with the software. What we were able to do with the software in the short time we had was such a positive experience that Moho became our number one option for digital puppet work.

This show also earned me my first Emmy nomination for the category of Outstanding Main Title and Graphic Design.
