📼 "Lost Tape" is the animated sitcom soap opera's opening title sequence. This video finds its primary inspiration in underground French comic books, with a nod to the works of Druillet and Moebius, as well as beloved animated sitcoms like 'Rick & Morty' and 'The Amazing World of Gumball.' 🚀
The music for this project was thoughtfully composed by my talented friend, Victor Maître.
