Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day! When I was asked to develop a social media post related to Father’s Day, I decided to pitch this style animation. I think holidays related to parents can be very meaningful for some and very difficult for others. Additionally, pulling a single photo to encapsulate all fathers felt impossible. Picking a single photo of a man would exclude every other person who didn’t look like him.
Instead, I found an animation technique, the spiraling banner seen below, that I wanted to try, and pitched a quick animation. While not all dads wear ties, this seemed like a solution that was more simple than trying to find the right photo, and had a light-hearted feel to it.
OOHHH that spiral! One of my absolute FAVORITE little details in this piece is the shadow cast by the banner on the tie, and the tie on the banner. At the time I was so pleased with how this turned out and looking back, I’m still very, very happy with it.
