Collaboration
Co-magic
My talented friend Sofie Lee and I wanted to collaborate on an animation for quite some time. This is a piece we created back in 2020 when the pandemic first began, when we were able to find some extra time for a side project.
We wanted to tell a brief, abstract story about the creative journey, touching on the spark of inspiration, the exploration of intentions, the narrowing of ideas, and the commitment to the partnership of making something beautiful and meaningful.
Huge thanks to my friend Sean Smith for crafting the audio for this project. We wanted the audio to feel wondrous, illuminating, eclectic, and fulfilling; it breathes into the design and motion so well.
If you’d like to see more details about the project with some explanations, here is a link to an article interview with a breakdown of our process.
