Here is the title sequence for COMMON SIDE EFFECTS, which I had the immense privilege of directing and animating. Making one of these had always been a dream of mine. Iâm ridiculously proud of it. I canât thank @joe_bennett_animation , @helytimes , @benjybrooke enough for their trust. Wonferfully scored by the music wizard @nicolas__snyder .
Iâll be sharing behind-the-scene material relating to the title sequence soon!
I also had the chance to direct 3 episodes and work with wonderful people @greenstreetpictures . I canât wait for everyone to discover Joe and Steveâs new show. Itâs already clear to me it will be recognized as one of the greatest animated series ever made.
Premiering on @adultswim on Feb 2, next day streaming on MAX.

I call this animated shot "RĂŠvolutions". I animated it little more than 2 years ago during lockdown. It's part of an unfinished film that I probably won't ever complete. So I'm really glad it found a home in the new STZAP episode with @souvienstenzan with a beautiful soundtrack crafted by multi-talented good friend @diffannorman â¤ď¸
As you can see, it's quite a dense shot. I actually first modelled the whole scene in 3D to build a precise reference for the light/shadow animation. The final piece is purely 2D though. I drew everything in Photoshop (including the framed paintings) and animated all lights and shadows in After Effects. Only the goldfish was animated in TVPaint.

I call this shot âThe Birth of Vestaâ. It appears in Scavengers Reignâs finale which I had the honor to direct. It is hands down the most ambitious shot I have ever animated. The simple fact that it exists is honestly a miracle. On so many levels.
Thank you to all the geniuses who helped me bring it to life. Especially @joe_bennett_animation , @charles.huettner and @benjybrooke for their unshakable faith đĽ˛

Really stellar design, direction, and animation by @vct_tsui đâ¨

âCorporate satire never looked so wild.â đ
Vincent Tsui | Common Side Effects â Title Sequence
Vincent Tsui brings a bold visual identity to Common Side Effects, a darkly comedic animated series created by Joe Bennett and Steve Hely.
The title sequence, directed and animated by Tsui, fuses surreal design with a sharp original score by Nicolas Snyderâmirroring the showâs blend of natural wonder and bureaucratic absurdity.
Pulsing with energy and stylistic tension, the sequence introduces a world where medical ethics and corporate greed clash in vibrant, irreverent fashion.
With Tsui also directing three episodes, his vision shapes much of the seriesâ distinctive tone, positioning Common Side Effects as a future cult classic.

A selection of my character studies for COMMON SIDE EFFECTS.
Before production officially started, I created a batch of expressions and poses for all the main characters. I usually started from one of @joe_bennett_animation âs initial designs and expanded from there.
I feel really lucky to have laid some of the early character design groundwork. Itâs so gratifying to see how much they evolved as they passed through the hands of so many incredibly talented artists.
