This was quite an experimental project, so you'll notice various versions and different paths taken to reach the final result.

The idea
The idea
The idea for this video came to me during a bike ride: I envisioned a whimsical scene where a character starts pedaling and gradually floats away from the bike into the sky. From there, the concept naturally evolved, allowing for new interpretations and visual choices.

Creating the little bunny
Jimbo developed the concept of the little bunny, focusing on a simple yet charming design — a small body with soft, expressive features, perfect for a light and fun animation.

The bicycle was inspired by classic children's tricycles, featuring a playful and nostalgic look. We explored various designs until we found one that fit perfectly with the character's style.

At first, I tried to animate the character myself, experimenting with different techniques for expressions and Essential Graphics in After Effects.

However, I realized that the results didn't align with the smooth aesthetic the project required. That's when I invited Murilo Emerick to bring the bunny to life.

Sky, Cloud & Stars
Sky, Cloud & Stars
For the sky, I explored various shapes and color combinations, using the Huetone 2 (beta) – ardov.me. After many tests, I achieved a visually striking result.
The clouds underwent several experiments: I tested the Stardust plugin to simulate 3D particles and even created variations with expressions in After Effects to generate random circles. In the end, I opted for a simpler and more effective version.
The stars were created using the Nebulosity plugin, adding a subtle and atmospheric touch to the composition.
