The Singaporean drama Strike Gold is a heartwarming and dramatic series that intertwines the lives of residents in a public housing block, centering around Grandma Dudu's famed pineapple tarts. The story unfolds with themes of family, ambition, betrayal, and redemption, as characters navigate personal challenges and complex relationships.
Animation
Like peering into a dollhouse, the opener introduce us to the different households of block 88 whose stories will intertwine, peeking into each and every space sequentially while introducing the characters. The characters have white outlines to look like stickers in a picture book. Embracing that tactile, traditional feel, I then animated "on 2s"—holding each drawing for two frames Characters snaps from pose to pose, snappy and rhythmic. Timing is key here and I had fun coming up with each character's poses to reflect their distinct personalities.
