Crank Yankers — Opening Sequence — Maciek Janicki

— is a multidimensional artist and animation director based in Los Angeles

Welcome to Yankerville! It’s featured as the imaginary hometown of the puppet characters on Comedy Central’s Crank Yankers. I had the opportunity to create this 3D world and animate the opening sequence for the 5th season of the TV show.

Architecture

The architecture of Yankerville is inspired by the skyline of New York City. Yankerville is divided into 3 main districts - Suburbs, Hills and Downtown. I designed, modeled, textured and animated all the models.

Vehicles

Vehicles I designed all the vehicles in Yankerville while thinking about cars from the 90s. I wanted to retain some of the imperfections that a smaller version of a car could have.
