The project began as a hand-drawn sketch in Procreate. That original mark became the creative anchor for every decision that followed.

Google’s VEO 3 transformed the illustration into an animated sequence. Voice and sound were generated with ElevenLabs, then compositing, pacing, and final finishing were completed in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
