Thank you all for the amazing reaction to James Baxter’s shot we shared last week! We thought it would be fun to show you the color breakdown of that same shot from SABA! :) In this clip, you can see all the different layers that went into creating the final look. Capturing the warmth of dusk, that beautiful golden hour feeling, was especially important to us. Since the entire film is one continuous shot, with the time of day slowly changing throughout, we needed a way to keep adjusting the shading and lighting throughout the compositing process. Instead of painting the final colors directly onto each frame, we colored each limb with a solid color, allowing us to control the shading and final look later in compositing. This gave us the flexibility to really art direct the lighting and color throughout the film. Every step of the process was done by hand, with artists making every creative decision. The beautiful color keys and color guides were created by the amazing Mike McCain, with compositing by our lead compositor, Or Ofri, who brought it all together! #SABA #SABAFilm #HandDrawnAnimation #TraditionalAnimation #2DAnimation #JamesBaxter #MikeMcCain #AnimationBreakdown #ColorBreakdown #Compositing #AnimationProcess #BehindTheScenes #FYC #AnimatedShortFilm 09 Nov 2026

Mael is truly the maestro of lines. The way he animates, designing motion and shape, is so inspiring. One of the best parts of making this the film in hand-drawn 2D animation is working with my heroes. Through this process, Mael became a great friend. I can’t thank him enough for tackling one of the most intricate shots. The entire film is one continuous shot, which made collaboration between animators challenging, but the team did it beautifully. This is just a portion of Mael’s animation in pencil test. Later, we move to the color portion with Fernando Moro’s shot. Special thanks to Christian Maymo for additional in-betweens and for helping us complete this complex shot. #Saba #MakingOfSaba #Animation #2DAnimation #HandDrawnAnimation #AnimatedShortFilm #SABAFilm #MaelGourmelen #FYC #BehindTheScenes 06 Nov 2026

When I asked Avner Geller to design the characters for Saba, I intentionally gave him almost no guidance. I felt that if I told him what I had in mind, I’d be limiting the film to my own imagination. I wanted to see what Avner would bring from his. And I’m so glad I did. I would have never come up with designs so simple, bold, and appealing. Looking back, I really feel this was one of the best creative decisions we made for the film. Avner and I have known each other for decades. We grew up together. I’m not even sure if he ever met my grandfather, but somehow, without even seeing a picture of him, he managed to capture his essence. #Saba #MakingOfSaba #CharacterDesign #AvnerGeller #HandDrawnAnimation #2DAnimation #Animation #AnimatedShortFilm #BehindTheScenes #FYC 03 Nov 2026

Take a look at a behind-the-scenes interview we did with the one and only James Baxter! :D James was one of my biggest inspirations going into Animation, its amazing to see his love and passion for the craft so many years later. I first met him when I first joined DreamWorks. He was always so humble and so approachable, that he quickly became one of my mentors. I learned so much about the craft from him, but more than anything, I learned how to put my energy where it really matters. Since Saba deals with the concept of passing knowledge from one generation to the next, having James, someone who taught me so much, be part of this film was especially meaningful to me. As always, James was incredibly humble and generous with his time. He single-handedly animated over 1,000 frames for the film, all drawn by hand, frame by frame, without any assistance. Watching his finished shot is truly mind-blowing to me. One thing I found fascinating was just how rough he starts his animation. He kept everything so loose, yet so clear, which actually made it much easier for me to give him notes. Something I really appreciated! :) I knew that if anyone could pull off the complex choreography of all these elements floating upward, it was James. And he did it in such a beautiful, effortless way and so much charm and perfonality. What I love most is how natural it all feels, as if Saba has done this a million times before. It’s just his morning routine in this strange world. Here’s a little glimpse into James’s process. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know in the comments if you’d like to see more of his interviews! #Saba #JamesBaxter #MakingOfSaba #HandDrawnAnimation #2DAnimation #BehindTheScenes #Animation #FYC 29 Oct 2026

Color played such an important role in how we told the story of Saba. Since the entire film is one continuous shot, we couldn’t rely on cuts to show the passage of time or shifts in emotion. Instead, we used color to help guide the audience through the story and reflect what our characters are feeling. We also talk about why we decided to go with hand-drawn animation, which has been my passion since I was six years old. Once I saw the designs for the film, I knew we had to at least try. I’m so happy we went with traditional hand-drawn animation because I feel it brings such a sense of intimacy to the story. In this second part of our Making of Saba series, we hear from our amazing production designer Avner Geller, our incredibly talented color and look designer Mike McCain, and the legendary animator James Baxter, who share some of their thoughts and experiences from working on Saba. We’ll be sharing more parts soon. Hope you enjoy it! #Saba #MakingOfSaba #HandDrawnAnimation #2DAnimation #BehindTheScenes #Animation #AnimatedShortFilm #FYC 21 Oct 2026

Excited to share the first video in our Making of Saba series! One of the biggest creative and technical challenges of Saba was telling the entire story in one continuous shot, with no cuts. This meant finding different ways to communicate emotion and the passage of time. In the next part we will be featuring the incredible work and insights of our production designer Avner Geller, our talented color and look designer Mike McCain, and the legendary James Baxter, one of the amazing animators who brought the film to life. A big thank you to Animation Magazine for premiering this first video alongside their wonderful article about the film! We’ll be sharing many more behind-the-scenes videos, artist interviews, and breakdowns of how we made the film.

We are incredibly excited to share that Saba has been selected for Animation Is Film in Los Angeles. This one feels especially meaningful. After traveling with the film to festivals around the world, getting to screen it here in LA, surrounded by a community that loves animation as much as we do, is really special. And getting to do it at the Chinese Theatre makes it even more so. Join us if you can and come see a great collection of short films. Saba started as a very personal film about loss, memory, and that feeling of wanting just one more moment with someone we’ve lost. Seeing the way people have connected with it has meant more to us than I can put into words. I’m so grateful to the incredible team who put so much of themselves into making this film with us. Screening Saba at Animation Is Film Short Films Program 01 Saturday, Oct 17, 2026 at 3:00 PM TCL Chinese 6 Theatres, Ovation Hollywood Link in bio for tickets. The beautiful drawing was done by the talented Slaven Reese! Thank you for such a touching moment in the film! #Saba #AnimationIsFilm #AIF2026 #Animation #AnimatedShortFilm #fyc 23 Sep 2026

Very excited to be screening SABA this Monday at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre as part of the prestigious HollyShorts Film Festival! There’s something incredibly special about seeing our film on a screen with so much history behind it, and we’re truly honored to be part of this year’s festival alongside so many wonderful films and filmmakers. The beautiful artwork in this post was created by the amazing Mike McCain, who was responsible for the look and color design of SABA and played such an important role in shaping the visual world of the film. If you’re in Los Angeles, come join us this Monday! ❤️ #SABA #HollyShorts #HollyShortsFilmFestival #Animation #AnimatedShort #TCLChineseTheatre 14 Aug 2026

Congratulations to 𝙎𝙖𝙗𝙖, one of the 2025–2026 Reboot Studios Creator Fund projects, which made its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival this month! ✨ Directed by DreamWorks veteran Liron Topaz, 𝙎𝙖𝙗𝙖 is an animated short film about a boy and his grandfather living in a surreal world where gravity is reversed. Recently featured in @tribeca animated shorts program curated by Whoopi Goldberg, the film is inspired by Topaz’s own family and becomes a lyrical meditation on loss, inheritance, and the impossible wish for just five more minutes with the people we love. A story about memory, family, and what keeps us tethered — even when the world turns upside down. 🎬 #RebootStudios #CreatorFund #Saba #Tribeca #AnimatedShortFilm 30 Jun 2026

What an amazing honor that SABA has been selected for the Opening Night program at Palm Springs International ShortFest! SABA screens tonight as part of Opening Night and again on June 27. We hope to see some of you there! ShortFest has always been such an important celebration of short films, and we’re deeply grateful to be included in a lineup that, in their words: “capture what ShortFest is all about - a little laughter, connection, and a whole lot of heart”. What makes this even more exciting is that SABA is the ONLY animated film featured on Opening Night! :) It’s a wonderful reminder that animation is a medium, not a genre. After years of work on this film, we can’t wait to share it with audiences in Palm Springs. We’re also looking forward to meeting other filmmakers and celebrating their films. #PalmSpringsShortFest #SabaFilm #Animation #AnimatedShort #ShortFilm #IndependentFilm #2DAnimation #HandDrawnAnimation #AnimationFilm #FilmFestival #FestivalCircuit #IndieAnimation #Filmmaking 23 Jun 2026

For the past few years I’ve been working on a personal short film called Saba. After a long journey, we’ve finally finished it - and I’m thrilled to share that it’s been selected for its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. I honestly can’t express how proud I am of this film - and of everyone who helped bring it to life. We were incredibly lucky to collaborate with some of the most talented artists out there. I’ll start sharing the process soon, and all the incredible work that went into bringing it to life. Thank you all for the support. 16 Apr 2026

Black Slide grew from sketches, color scripts, and tactile textures: Fingerprints on faces, scuffed plastics, sun-bleached tiles. A world built to hold both summer joy and creeping dread.
