Apple TV Plus series “The Afterparty” is, by definition, a murder mystery. But it’s also part action-thriller, police procedural, musical, rom-com — oh, and animation. The series follows esca…
. Lord and Miller are the minds behind some of Hollywood’s zaniest projects, such as the wildly popular “21 Jump Street” and “Lego Movie” films, as well as lesser known gems like the soon-to-be-rebooted animated teen satire “Clone High.” However, with “The Afterparty,” the filmmaking duo sought to outdo the creative challenges they’d previously hurdled.
“It’s also, how do we make this harder on ourselves?’” Lord laughs. “And how can we make a virtue of imagining this as a series, so that it’s not just making it longer — it’s introducing possibilities.” Schwartz had never sung or danced professionally, so Lord and Miller arranged the music in a key he could hit. Choreographer Kat Burns, also from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” had a similar task. Before plotting out steps, she worked with Schwartz to gauge his natural physicality. She ended up shaping the choreography around his “fast footwork” and even threw in a breakdancing move called the “coffee grinder” because “it was impressive and he could do it.
A team of animators led the way on Episode 6, which focuses on Zoë. Written by Lord and Rachel Smith, the episode sees Zoë, a creative teenager-turned-art teacher-turned vice principal, sit down with Detective Danner to explain the events of her night as she recalls them.
Olivares joined the production early on, before many key visual details about the show had been decided. Each time she found out about a new cast member, she began sketching a caricature of their face; each time a costume design was finalized, she mapped out her interpretation of it. Olivares also achieved cohesion by imagining elements of Zoë’s day-to-day life and incorporating them in her drawing style. “I tried to emulate something like a Sharpie pen, because she’s probably doing art in the middle of her job and having access to office supplies,” she says. “Even Xerox machines, to bring in some texture to it. It kind of has that doodling feeling that you might have if you’re drawing on the side in a meeting at your job.
