A Frame Through Nature

An exploration of 3D animation on communicating the benefits of outdoor play
Screenshot (158).png

A Frame Through Nature is a short 3D animated film about how a child navigates the endless possibilities of imagination and play right in her own backyard. ​ This research aimed to explore how using 3D animation and narrative techniques can enhance the relatability of messaging. ​

Imagination is a core part of free-play. I showed how 3D animation is flexible and allows the visualisation of imaginative or impossible endeavours. This led me to weave these benefits into a narrative structure for a more impactful and meaningful viewing experience.
