About this video
A graphic joyride disguised as an everyday moment. Inspired by people who see themselves a little larger than life, the film explores a reality shaped by self-perception—where even finding a penny becomes a cinematic event. Blending bold character design, fluid hand-drawn animation, and a balance of graphic simplicity and tactile detail, the project explores how perception can transform the ordinary into spectacle. Even the penny reflects that approach: built in 3D for its metallic light play, but designed to move and read like a graphic 2D object.
