Animist, also known as Yuto, is an animator who makes incredible stop motion shorts. We've covered their Kirby stop-motion before, but their newest creation — somewhat appropriately — is Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Horizons making coffee. Even though Brewster can probably handle it just fine, Izzy.
The stop-motion video is around 35 seconds long, and shows the tiny mayor's assistant grinding her own beans with the help of a few tools to get her up to the top of the grinder.
There are even a few details in the background that we have to assume are little Easter Eggs: The owl, to represent Blathers, a tiny ocarina like the one in the game, and even a little plant like Isabelle has on her desk in the game.

The Foley is incredible too, by sound designer Masafumi Watanabe — Isabelle's little hair bells jingle with every movement, which is just adorable.

I guess this was how she stayed up all night before the roost
I usually try to refrain from commenting when things tweak my personality type, but I have to...
What is the point of this? She is too small to drink the coffee and if she is the same size as the rest of the animal crossing NPCs none of them can drink it either. Why not make a video showing her making a cup of coffee that she can drink herself? Is she serving it to a giant? This is very confusing. Pikmin would have been better suited and make similar sounds/emotional impact. I suppose it is to show off one's stop motion skills but I feel like a different subject could have been used. I don't understand the thought process behind this.
Don't worry @Ryu_Niiyama, it's not canon! And I suppose the plot ramifications of where the intrepid Isabelle has found herself during the events of this saga are secondary to the Incredible animation and sound work.
My joy is immeasurable and my day is saved ❤️
@DoctorYoghurt Fair. If it is a proof of concept I can ignore the rest...but it's just jarring to me. Thank you for the straightforward reply.
Animist is a very good youtube channel, and I recommend the "Sakura Punching Red Bull Can With Ultra Combo" video!
This is incredibly well done!
9/10, Needs more Doom guy.

She asked him but he just said “NO.”
I would drink that cup of coffee. Thank you!
