In this video, we take a closer look at the inspiration for this piece. More specifically, how Fraser and the team decided to create this nostalgia-fueled and action-packed homage.
Character animation is hard! Animating complex actions is even harder! In this video, we walk through the character rigs and look at how each of these performances were created.
This animation is essentially one long continuous shot with no cuts or transitions to hide the seams. In this video, we take a look at how Cub Studio went about creating this continuous 2.5D world.
Working from reference is one thing, but. matching a deeply rooted piece of nostalgia is a totally different ball game. In this video, we examine how Cub Studio took on this 16-bit look.
Here we discuss what went into wrapping up this project, how it all came together, and any lessons they experienced along the way when created the world of Super Jonny.
Super Jonny is the invention of the amazing team at Cub Studio. Initially created as a way to commemorate reaching 100k followers on Instagram, Super Jonny continues to punch, kick, and jump his way into new adventures.
Cub Studio is a Brighton-based studio that was originally founded by Fraser Davidson and Ben Skinner. Since then, they’ve gone on to expand their team and to create some truly remarkable animations.

Holdframe Workshops are deep-dives into specific projects done by an artist, studio, or collective. Rather than focus on broad fundamentals, they allow for a peek behind the curtain to see how some of the best work in the industry gets made. They are much shorter than School of Motion courses and are available to watch instantly after enrollment. Workshops do not have teaching-assistants, homework, or student groups like our courses do.
For instant access courses, students can request a refund within the first 30 days from their point of purchase.
