The Drawing That Waved Back

A crayon dinosaur lifts off the paper and waves. Watch the ten-second Vixel example and follow the original drawing, storyboards and actual video frames.

The creative approach

Keep the yellow belly, purple side, huge eyes and scribbled charm. A flat drawing wakes, becomes a small tactile character, waves and takes one tiny step.

A closer look at the film

Three moments from the finished cut, with creative notes from Vixel.

Start on the page

Let the flat drawing establish the character before anything changes.

Make the reveal readable

The same colors carry through into the small three-dimensional figure.

The crayon dinosaur waves
03

A little hello

One wave gives the character a simple emotional connection.

04

Let it settle

A small step and a held pose finish the short moment.

Try it in your next film

Start with a recognizable drawing and one simple action. Review the actual motion: a completed request can still misinterpret a storyboard as a moving grid.
