A place in the sun
Animation
A Place In The Sun is a short story about a cactus who loves his little window spot in the sun. He is looking forward to a new day, enjoying the lovely weather - however we soon find out that it does not always go his way..
In this story I took a lot of inspiration in my own life. Both in the sense that I am the owner of too many plants, but also how daily distractions can get in the way of me going out and enjoying a beautiful summer day. In this animation I have flipped the perspective and told the story from a plants view: How do they actually feel about us humans and all our odd behaviors?
This was my first ever animation - a school project made at Design School Kolding. In this project I got to work with Adobe Ae for the first time side by side with working on koncept, storytelling and character design. This was a really fun project, where I got to explore the world of animation for the first time. This project really sparked a big interest in me, and has influenced how I use motion graphics a lot more in my design projects today.
