Exclusive: Electronic musician and self-taught animator spktra spent five years making the video for "Spirit Jumper," built to feel like a dialogue-free short film rather than a visual accompaniment to the music. cartoonbrew.com/music-videos/s…

Working entirely independently, spktra wrote, directed, edited, colored, and composited the film himself, collaborating with just two animators and a veteran 'Batman Beyond' character designer to nail the video's '90s cel animation aesthetic.

The result is a meticulous attempt to nail the feel of hand-drawn animation through light, timing, color, and texture, what spktra calls “a tremendous labor of love.” Read our full breakdown and see the whole video here: cartoonbrew.com/music-videos/s…

Did an interview with Cartoon Brew about the 5 year production behind Spirit Jumper. Looking back through my research notes, I had a number of interviews they’d done over the years so it was an honor to be interviewed at all on the website. cartoonbrew.com/music-videos/s…

Created by spktra - this hand-made music video for his track "Spirit Jumper" is a throwback to 90s cel animation style. Looks gorgeous! Song is legit! This music video is definitely worth a watch. #animation

Did another interview with Animation Magazine about the Spirit Jumper production! animationmagazine.net/2026/02/spktra…

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: ─➤animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-li…

Fantastic breakdown over at Animation Obsessive of how to digitally emulate an analog style light glow by spktra Lots of similarities with work we've been doing in AgBr.app animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-li…

"Batman Beyond" character designer Glenn Wong recently worked on this newly-released music video, "Spirit Jumper," an animation project that took 5 years to complete! Watch it at the link below! ⤵️
