Paper Sun
01 / The story
For an imaginary independent publisher, a small creature discovers that a book can change the weather.
A sixty-second film built around a tactile transformation. Pages become rooftops, margins become roads, and a single red umbrella becomes the thread that holds the journey together. The story ends exactly where a reader begins.
Commission concept: North Window Editions — fictional. This is an invented partnership for the prototype.
Let the paper retain its weight.
A fictional production concept. Artwork and studies illustrate the proposed world; release years are part of the demo.
02 / The visual notebook
Inside the world.
03 / Production notes
An intention in
every department.
Design & performance
A world with its own rules.
Let the paper retain its weight. Character silhouette, spatial rhythm and color are explored together in the visual notebook, before a sequence moves into an animatic or playable test.
Technical development
Built around the image.
A stepped character performance and material-led transitions preserve the feeling of a handmade object throughout the CG treatment.
Music & sound
More than what we see.
Page turns, soft cloth and miniature percussion form a rhythm that becomes the score.
04 / Moving studies
From stillness
to a sequence.
Explore the studio’s animated visual anthology: a short sequence of world, character and material studies.
