Taskino.
UK · Short-Form · May 2026

Ten serialised 3D universes, designed for the UK feed.

A daily-shippable slate of 10–16 second character vignettes built against the cosy-counter-trend wave dominating 2026 algorithms. Three deliberately distinct visual treatments — AI-claymation, Pixar-soft, tilt-shift miniature — so no two series read alike at thumb-stop.
