Velune is a tiny magical kitten who lives in Mosswhisper Forest, an enchanted woodland filled with glowing plants, gentle creatures, hidden paths, and little mysteries.
She is curious, sweet, determined, and always wants to help, even when she sometimes believes she has to solve everything on her own. In the pilot episode, Velune finds a broken bridge in the middle of the forest.
On the other side, a little family of snails is trying to get home before sunset. Velune immediately decides she can fix the bridge by herself. She gathers branches, leaves, and vines, but every time she finishes, the bridge falls apart again.
After trying again and again, three beavers appear and offer to help. Velune almost refuses, but finally says yes. The beavers help place the branches, the snails bring strong leaves, and Velune ties everything together with vines. Together, they rebuild the bridge before sunset.
Through this little adventure, Velune learns that asking for help does not mean you are incapable.
The series would continue talking about Velune through Mosswhisper Forest as she meets new creatures, faces small magical problems, discovers hidden places, and learns gentle lessons through each adventure. Every episode would tell its own simple story while gradually revealing more of Mosswhisper and its magical world.
Such a charming concept! π₯Ή The character design, magical forest setting, and storytelling all work beautifully together. Velune is absolutely adorable! β¨π±πΏ
Title: Elsie's β Heritage Brand Identity & PackagingThe
Problem: Modern dairy aisles are dominated by sterile, mass-produced branding that loses the authentic, farm-to-table connection consumers crave.
The Solution: I designed a visual identity for Elsie's that pairs organic grass-fed milk with old-world storytelling. By utilizing an earthy color palette, honest serif typography, and nostalgic farm illustrations, the brand system connects modern homes with the simplicity of heritage farming.
Deliverables:
1.) Brand Identity & Logo System
2.) Custom Typography & Color Formulation
3.) Retail Packaging Design (Milk Bottles, Cartons, Yogurt Jars) (Brand Identity & Packaging Concept)

Process note:
π Echo is a black screen where every sound sends a wave of light through the scene in real depth.
ποΈ Starting footage: one licensed stock clip of a temple corridor from invideo's stock library. The sound is original, synthesised for this piece. The voiceover is my own.
π¬ What I asked for: a black screen where each ping lights the scene by distance, built from a depth map, with controls for each wave, afterglow, wave thickness, contour lines, outlines, colour and a final reveal.
π οΈ What was built: a depth map (Depth Anything Video), two "Echo" custom effects on the depth map (a Multiply layer for light and an Add layer for glow), an "Echo colour" effect on the footage, and keyframes for six waves and the reveal. The first build was done by Claude, connected to invideo Editor through invideo's MCP server.
ποΈ Refinement: I asked invideo's own agent (Agent Two Lite) in the editor to raise Afterglow from 0.14 to 0.3 on both Echo effects. It made the change on the timeline, and that conversation is shown in the video. I also tried a longer afterglow and a gold colour, both shown.
β All building and the final cut were done in invideo Editor.
