We spoke with Rebecca and Mark to discuss what that process looked like, as well as to learn about the inspiration and their intentions with Rob & Clay. With character rigging in Harmony Premium and boarding in Storyboard Pro, Rob & Clay and the independent team behind it show us how Harmony can serve as the foundation of an independent animated production.


The two characters fit into a memorable and appealing mould, with highly emotive poses that carry the drama through powerful expressions. Set in the early 2000s with a style influenced both by Butch Hartman and United Productions of America’s cartoons, the show is sure to evoke nostalgia while also making a contribution to the more recent canon of contemporary adult animation. If the pilot is anything to go by, he’ll be getting his more reserved pal, Clay the cat, into all manner of capers in the upcoming series. Rob, a mouse, is the more optimistic of the two friends. Following two friends as they experience some of life’s classic moments - from the comedic, to the tragic - the show tackles the challenges of socializing and growing up with good humour and high spirits. R ob & Clay is a new coming-of-age animated comedy, with a pilot currently in development, from Mark McConville (aka LS Mark on YouTube) and animator Rebecca Kartzmark.
