Botanical Calyxes

Playground: Daphne Betten

Story – Message: Message in a bottle, fantasy eco-system, Botanics in a bulb, it’s just how you’d like to bring your own story to life. It’s all kind of peaceful, friendly and ready for the slow-life. Not only within these small worlds, but it also slows you down, being surprised by all those little botanical explorations. It’s here to trigger your imagination, to take you away from the digital and harsh fast-pacing world, to add some calming joy to your day, thoughts and state of mind. Great illustrations accompanied by some smooth and peaceful frame-by-frame.

Concept: This typical Playground-project finds its roots in several passions of our colleague Daphne: illustration, peaceful frame-by-frame animation and her infinite love for everything that has to do with plants. This ongoing series started with a few of her green-living favourites: the famous Monstera, the adorable Water Lilly and the String of Pearls: Senecio Rowleyanus. The addition of life, in shape of the imaginary drop-humans and delicate animals, brought some extra challenge into the sweet balance of frame-by-frame and minor motion design.
