A Day Out

On one of their days of adventure, these two unlikely friends stumbled upon a friendly giant who took the longest naps during the day! They happened to have seen it wake up once and ever since then they've been trying to catch a glimpse of it again. It was snuggling right up at the base of mountains so maybe this spot would be where it's taking a nap today?

This is a snippet of a project made specifically for the Yagan Tower situated in Perth, WA. Due to the cylindrical nature of the tower, the original video does not have any camera cuts/shots and just stays static for optimal viewing.

You can find the full original video below that contains a lot more animation.

Project Objective

Since the piece I was producing was going to be consumed in a superficial manner by passerby-ers (Yagan Tower is literally a tall cylindrical screen right outside of the busy city train station), I decided that I won't be putting a deeper or hidden meaning for adult audiences to potentially dissect - it wanted it to be purely for aesthetic pleasure. Something light that can be consumed quickly and in its most superficial form would be good to present to the audience who don't have time to stop for more than maybe a minute or who won't be giving much thought about what they're seeing.

That's why I focused more on the aesthetics of my content rather than a "deeper" message.

In saying that, my primary objective for this project is to provide a 'feel-good' vibe through the story told in my animation that highlights a wholesome time with two friends emphasised by the bright and open green landscape. Nothing deep, nothing too complex. It's a 'take it as it is' kind of story that hopefully leaves the viewer in a lighter mood as they walk past the tower toward their intended destination.
