Smashbits #22: DISNEY XD - Parker Plays Space Team FINISHED ANIMATION

Two weeks ago I hinted at a special Smashbits project, and here it is... That's right, Parker Plays got picked up for a second season and asked for me to do another short sequence for them! Turns out season 1 has been playing every weekday, so apparently it's been picking up in the ratings and my shorts from last year have actually been getting quite a bit of exposure, so that's exciting. Season 2 has only been ordered for 6 episodes, so we'll see if I get asked to animate any other shorts-- I have been asked to do a really quick 5 second gag that will be used to open one of the episodes though, that's the project I'm starting next! Even if these two projects are all they need from me this season, it's an honor to come back and I've already added "2 seasons of a Disney XD show" to my animation resume!
The first 13 seconds are blank because that part will be in live action, and cut to the backgrounds I drew as they describe them. The short really begins at 35 seconds. The game they are playing is called Space Team and it took me FOREVER to understand what was going on-- trust me the reference footage they sent DID NOT help... But I did eventually figure out it's a mobile game and that's why they need to SHAKE at one point. It also really asks the players to do all those things.
