About By Polar Animation

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- I creat this animation for the 2020 Winter. I wish to give a warm remind to the world that there are always something, some creatures, being neglected, no matter during good or harsh time. May be we are actually one of the abandoned. But even though, we are not alone.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by a new report in 2019 (CNN) "A hungry and exhausted young polar bear was spotted wandering in the suburbs of the Siberian industrial city of Norilsk, hundreds of miles from its usual habitat."
- Realization and Technology
- First illustrated on ipad and computer by Photoshop, then migrated the graphical elements to Aftereffect to animate.
