The Leaf

A self-initiated project exploring the playful chaos of nature through the descent of a single leaf.

The concept sparked while on holiday, watching leaves unapologetically disrupt afternoon drinks and meals - plunging into glasses, landing on plates, and generally causing mild havoc. I found the contrast between their delicate form and their carefree impact amusing, which inspired me to bring the idea to life through animation.

The project became a creative sandbox for me to experiment with new techniques in 3D, animation, and motion design. The result is a charming and whimsical piece brought to life with the brilliant sound design by Box of Toys—a fantastic team to collaborate with.
