This festive stop-motion special brings SpongeBob and Sandy together for a holly-jolly adventure in Bikini Bottom—country style.
With limited assets to pull from, we relied on unit photography from the stop-motion shoot and a mix of stock elements to build out the composition. Our goal was to channel the handcrafted charm of the special itself, leaning into warm holiday textures, playful lighting, and cozy country details. The final key art captures the joy and goofiness of SpongeBob and Sandy’s Christmas spirit, wrapped up in a bright, celebratory scene that feels straight out of their underwater holiday.
