Calgary or “Cal-gry”? 🤔

What happens when Calgary’s most iconic symbols—the Tower and the Rockies—can’t agree on how to pronounce their own city’s name? A playful debate unfolds, showcasing the many ways people say “Calgary” with different accents. But in the end, they find common ground, shouting in unison—because no matter how you say it, this city brings us together.

Originally created by @littlemaypapery, we were inspired by her illustrations to bring this animation to life. The fusion of 2D and 3D graphics is a technique that creates a unique visual language - where every frame tells its own story, blending the charm of hand-drawn art with the depth and dimension of 3D.

Some details still shine best with the magic touch of pencil and paper (or an iPad, in our case), adding warmth and authenticity to the final piece with hand-crafted facial animations. Our latest animation was crafted with this philosophy in mind, ensuring each element seamlessly contributes to the whole.

And as an extra twist - this animation was built on my own face as a reference, making me, in a way, the muse behind the artwork. 🎭 It’s a playful experiment where personal expression meets creative storytelling.
