Here's a video we did for Dutch Sesamestreet:
Sesamestreet: On the train

Re: Sesamestreet: On the train
Lots happening here, and it's all great. My particular favorite were the cows, but it all looked great and really conveyed the excitement of watching the world from the train.

Re: Sesamestreet: On the train
Thanks guys.
About the workflow:
Everything was drawn in Photoshop (I find it the easiest tool for playing around with color and I like the brushes I've got there). Some shots that would have been tricky in ASP are hand-drawn in TVPaint. Most shots are done in Anime Studio Pro, but some are done in After Effects or even Maya. Who ever animated the shot did it in the way they'd get it done the fastest. I thought it was a lot of fun to collaborate and mash all techniques together while maintaining a simple style. I don't think technique matters much, especially considering the audience are kids who simply want to enjoy the ride.
