The mascot never moves
There’s a design sheet and a plush toy, but it has never moved or told a story.
City Mascot Tour Shorts:Your Mascot Becomes the Tour Guide
Plenty of cities and scenic areas have a mascot that lives only on posters, plush toys and booths—it never actually moves. Making it a tour guide the traditional 3D way means long modeling, rigging and rendering, so most stop after one episode.
We lock the character from your design sheet—look, color and proportions consistent throughout—then send it into real city streets: wandering alleys, riding the metro, visiting exhibitions, trying local snacks. Sights and events appear along its route, and the same character carries on episode after episode.

01CHALLENGES
Where this kind of video usually gets stuck
3D takes too long
Traditional modeling, rigging and rendering make each episode slow—series never get scheduled.
Cities become checklists
Landmark after landmark with no one leading the way—viewers lose the thread.
02WHY AI
How AI solves them
A steady character
The locked design carries into every episode, so the mascot starts to feel like a familiar friend.
Someone to follow
Eyes follow the character, so changing locations never gets confusing.
Cartoon meets real streets
A cartoon character in realistic streets: the place is recognizable and the mascot stays charming.
Industry, too
Investment pitches and policy intros become the mascot’s treasure hunt or adventure.
03WHAT WE MAKE
What we can make

The mascot spends a day among landmarks, alleys and local food.
How-to-join explainers

You share the IP and route
Design sheets, personality notes, the places to visit and the events or policies to cover.

Deliver and plan the next one

- Yes. We build a 3D look and turnaround views from your designs, and animate once you approve proportions, colors and details.
- Will the character change between episodes?
- Every episode uses the same locked design, we check shot by shot before delivery, and any off-model shot is redone.
- Can the character talk?
- Yes. Use narration, or give the character its own voice and lines with lip-sync.
- Can we start with one episode?
- Sure. An episode is usually 1–2 minutes with a first cut in about a week; see how it lands before committing to a series. Rush production is available; timeline and price are agreed case by case.
