2D character animation was paired with hand-painted backgrounds created in Krita. The setting—a floating walkway in an empty space—was designed to feel both surreal and reflective, with deep purple hues setting a melancholic tone. Toon Boom was used to animate the characters, while After Effects helped to bring it all together in post-production, ensuring everything felt seamless and polished.
The visual style blends realism with minimalist elements, allowing the emotional depth to shine through. Character designs mix Western and Eastern influences, resulting in a unique and timeless aesthetic. For movement, the animation drew from classic Disney's fluid, life-like style, bringing a natural sense of motion to the characters that makes their connection feel genuine.
The score, led by acoustic piano and strings, plays a central role in setting the tone. With subtle shifts from peaceful to somber, the music complements the emotional arc, guiding the viewer through moments of sadness, hope, and tranquility. Its role is to support the visual storytelling, adding depth without overshadowing the quiet moments of connection.
