Shilo directed a new promo for Cartoon Network (www.cartoonnetwork.com) featuring Elijah, a young rapper of poise, presence, and promise. Resulting from a continuation of a great collaboration between the teams at Shilo and Cartoon Network, the project came about after both reviewed close to 100 audition videos before discovering the eleven-year-old, who had written his own rap just for the occasion.
With a distinctive combination of traditional cel, 2D, and 3D animation, together with hand-drawn imagery and live-action, Shilo stayed true to their own brand of "design-infused storytelling." The use of mixed media has really become a Shilo hallmark, and ‘Rap’ typifies the eclectic skills that are making Shilo an increasingly popular go-to director.
