The Creative Process

- Concept & Idea Generation I started by brainstorming quirky and entertaining ideas that could be effectively conveyed in just five seconds.

- Character Design Once I had the concept, I developed character sketches, refining expressions and movement possibilities.

- Frame-by-Frame Animation I meticulously drew each frame, paying attention to timing, weight, and flow to ensure a lively and engaging animation.

The Challenge

The goal was to achieve smooth and natural movement, focusing on speed, fluidity, and expressive character animation.

The Solution

The final deliverable was a fluid, frame-by-frame 3-second animation, capturing the essence of fun and spontaneity.

The Results

A playful and engaging short animation, bringing the character to life through smooth motion.

Key Takeaways

Animation is all about iteration—refining movement, adjusting speed, and redrawing frames until the final product feels just right.
