The second professional job CUMI ever did, design, illustration and animation for Disney Europe's "If I Were", a series of 6 real, 3-minute interstitials imagining what kids would do if they had different, everyday jobs, and how they'd make them more interesting, mixing live action with traditional hand drawn animation and some 3D. All six are now playable below, If I Were a Crane Driver, a Traffic Warden, an Air Stewardess, a Waiter, a Teacher, and a Librarian.
