The Ask: For this project, I had the opportunity to create an especially unique papercut style animation for patient education. The client was open to nonphotoreal styles, wanting something friendly and approachable for their research focus group. The final video ended up being split into four chapters to supplement educational materials provided to participants, who needed to not only understand the research to sign the informed consent documents, but own the knowledge so they could be active players in their health care journey.

Inspired by the study name, Spotlight, we chose to create contrast through lighting rather than color. All assets had unique material properties so they each had their own translucency factor or emitted light. Moving panoramas, papercut theater, and View-Masters were the inspiration for how the paper pieces moved.
