Greetings
Evening detective, thank you for showing up for the briefing of our case - Tales of the Witnesses. I'm sure you've heard that this case has gone cold decades ago, since the 1920s. But we found new evidence that can crack it open all over again, and that's why we're here today.
​
About The Case
Tales of the Witnesses takes place in the roaring 20s in New York, where one promising inventor Warren Darwin was murdered by the bullet of one of five suspects. Grace Darwin (the wife), Richmond Darwin (the brother), Geovani (the investor), Bertha (the sister-in-law), and Peyton (the business partner) are now put under investigation, where they have to unfold their intricate relationships and reveal dark secrets in a five-minute interview. The final verdict of their innocence or crime is ultimately placed on the viewer, who plays the unseen and unheard detective in the interrogation room.
The pilot case titled "The Widow" is right down below, check it out. See if you have what it takes to spot the bluffing of a killer.
This case might be taking a multitude of directions in the days ahead, but we want to highlight these keywords only: puzzle, mystery, art deco, UPA, English, colors, and 2D animation.

The Inspiration
Our lead detectives uncovered this dead case while in search for an anthology in the file room. Intrigued by unsolved cases entangled with faceted, contradictory statements, they decided to adopt this investigation. After shots and shots of expresso, the barebone of what had happened were mapped out including the list of attendees, house plan of the old mansion, and of course a rough timeline of events. With the help of their Sergeant, they gradually restore the tapes with voice over and animation.
