Love Letter · 24 Hour Challenge!
Ok but what if we get a team. Of 5 students. And we make em stay up for 24 HOURS? Hint hint... You get some pretty cool work :)

The Puzzle...
The Solution!
The "24 Hour Animation Challenge" is an international event where students around the world compete in teams of 5 to complete an animated film in just 24 Hours, themed around a prompt given by Aubry Mintz.
This year, the prompt was to show the potential of animated filmmaking as a thank you to our incredible art form, which we intepreted as making a literal love letter!
We take our little team "finalfinal.mp4", figure out a cool way to portray this prompt in our own style, and win 1st place out of a record of 431 teams.
Simple! (Just Kidding! I wish.)
Oh, and the cool people I worked with: Hannah Nguyen, Sehee Kim, Anastassia Kovach & Alex Cho
Frames I worked on!
A peek behind the scenes...
Made & recorded this script in collaboration with Anastassia, but I'm glad to point out specifically that I worked hard on these silly animation puns ;)
My Dearest,
Our love can squash any problem and stretches me to new horizons.
I might be exaggerating, but my love for you is beyond measure - guiding me through the arcs of life.
I have an endless fascination with your passion for creativity.
With you, I always anticipate wonder and joy.
Some days I feel overwhelmed, yet you still continue to inspire me, encouraging my true self.
You make me happy, you challenge me, but above all, you make me proud.
With Every Keyframe of My Heart,
Yours truly.
(Turn your audio on, I promise it's funny)
The Team <3
All this with the help of our teachers cheering us on, the Cinnamon Pop Tarts, and the curious prospective students peeking over our shoulder at the Open House that weekend.
Made with love,
finalfinal.mp4
