The "Holy Moly" print materials feature characters rendered as paper shapes that children can color in, cut out and move around. The animations expand these pieces into a narrative to augment the day's lesson. The cartoons bring the 2D materials to life as a narrative. The cutout characters spin in space, and are colored in or drained of color depending on how much faith they experience.

The characters' speech is entirely nonsense phrases improvised by the actors, voiced to match the emotive impact of scripted phrases. Sound effects range from a standard library to a variety of custom cues. In keeping with the organic aesthetic of the print materials, I developed a palette of sounds derived entirely from vocalizations. These make up many of the subtler aspects of the piece-- including birdsong at the beginning, many of the "whooshes" when characters spin, squints and blinks (such as at :24 and :26), clothing/ gestural accents (leaning down to pick up the telescope at :26), and the telescope ratcheting into focus at :33.
