I wanted to create a project that allowed me to explore multiple visual styles and push myself to create a very intentionally designed and animated piece that pushed me to try more dynamic animation.

For several months I have been trying to learn Japanese on my own, and this project was inspired by ridiculous mnemonics used to memorize 漢字(kanji).

I've had this idea for a while and have done other sea-urchin related experiments. You can see some of those experiments found their way into my reel, including the color palette.
