Creating visuals for an acid trip is the definition of “dream job” for animation types and Toronto’s Polyester Studio takes the opportunity to explore both the light and dark sides of the experience in this clip for the SyFy series Deadly Class.

From Polyester: “We were tasked with creating a two-minute animated sequence for episode five of the TV adaptation of the wonderful comic book written by Rick Remender and illustrated by Wesley Craig.

“With SyFy not picking up season two of Deadly Class, we’re hoping Netflix or Hulu take the opportunity to bring this show to a wider audience. It’s a great show, with great characters and script, talented actors, excellent animation, and deserves a second season.”
