process

Going into this project, my goal was to create a looping animation with a clever camera move and dynamic interactions between the ball and obstacles. I chose a modular design to ensure the loop felt seamless and cohesive. After establishing a grid structure, I designed obstacles and introduced elements of unexpected delight for the ball to interact with—much like a child discovering the different parts of a playground for the first time.
