PERRY PLAYLAND

For Katy Perry's 2022 Las Vegas residency and concert show, PLAY, Hi from the Future developed a 15min animated film, Perry Playland, from script to stage.
Set in a toy-sized Katy Perry universe full of Perry’s music, fashion, and iconography, the film expresses her musical mythology her fans know and love.
STORY
In close collaboration with the show directors (The Squared Division) and musical director (Kris Pooley), we developed the story through script and storyboards over a 5 act structure.
We scoured the Katy Perry archives (music videos, concert performances, tattoos, memes, and fashion style) which served as a deep well of reference points and inspiration.
