Shapes dance, perspectives sway. See the world anew as shapes shift magically with perspective.

“Circles” is a short animation Justin and I created for Dreams, Procreate’s new animation software. Procreate has revolutionized digital art on the iPad, and we were honored to be invited to showcase the capabilities of Dreams before its official launch.

Procreate Dreams

Animation / 2023

One of the most exhilarating aspects of this project was the complete creative freedom granted by the Procreate team – they allowed us to explore the new software without constraints!

We settled on a fun concept: revealing hidden circles in everyday objects. Our animation aimed to uncover the hidden circular nature of seemingly ordinary objects when viewed from a unique perspective.

This animation was designed, cel-animated, and composited fully using Procreate and Procreate Dreams.
