DeervsSaturn
Project Brief
Comedy in Motion
At IWR Studio, we believe that technology should serve the story, not the other way around. “Deer vs Saturn” is a testament to this philosophy—a collaboration with comedian Shane Smith that blends sharp observational humor with cutting-edge animation workflows.
The Process: From Punchline to Pixel
The project began with a hilarious segment from Shane Smith. To bring his energy into the animated world, we employed a highly automated pipeline: first extracting the shot breakdown and keyframes through an AI-driven process, then generating the final sequences. This allowed us to focus our creative energy on the nuances of timing and delivery, before polishing the final result with traditional editing techniques.
Why This Matters
While we often play in the “high-tech, high-brow” space, “Deer vs Saturn” highlights our versatility and our love for content with actual substance. It’s proof that you can use the most advanced tools in the industry to make people laugh, without losing the human touch that makes comedy work.
