“So it was a huge challenge, both for the story and, obviously, visually. Technically, we almost died during this as well,” stated Alberto.
The creation of Jibaro from Love Death + Robots posed many challenges as the theme had complex animations. Including the dance of death, forest scenes, siren’s embedded jewelry, and rushing water. Like Alberto said that this episode was unlike any constant modern projection. Everything was set in the natural landscape, which was a complete motion thing.
After that came the title of this impeccable episode, which he picked from a Spanish character. It was a sudden thought, and he didn’t even know at the time the real source of the sentence, which he calls the funniest part of all. Notably, the title Jibaro did have varied meanings in different cultures. Some explain the term as someone who is savage while some mountainous regions relate it to the small farmers.
