Title: The First Paper Boat — A Childhood Memory Animated
Category: AI Animation | Memory Preservation
Description: A tender animation capturing the magic of a childhood moment — the first paper boat floating on water. Simple, pure, unforgettable.
The Story: This project celebrates those small, precious moments of childhood that stay with us forever. A parent wanted to preserve the memory of their child’s wonder at seeing a paper boat sail for the first time.
The Approach: I focused on capturing the sense of wonder and discovery through soft lighting, gentle movement, and a warm color palette that evokes nostalgia without sentimentality.
Tools Used:
- Midjourney — scene design & mood development
- Luma Dream Machine — smooth, dreamlike animation
- Color grading for nostalgic warmth
Style: Soft, painterly, reminiscent of children’s book illustrations
