Rap Viet: "Dare or not" Music Animation ft Yuno Bigboi

We collaborated with Rap Viet, the hottest TV show of Vietnam in 2020 to produce an animated MV featuring the voice of Yuno Bigboi.

The main character is Yuno Bigboi

We tried a few cartoon character options. The design must reflect Yuno Bigboi in real life. At first, we tried to make him as cute as possible, for example with big round eyes. In the end, we realized we don’t need big eyes to show cuteness.

We only have a few background illustrations in the MV because we wanted to focus more on the character. The MV is about Tet so everything needs to show that feeling.

We also have some sub-characters to make the MV more exciting. They are family members, friends. Tet is all about reunion.
