I always forget my weight when I'm going to eat a big meal. Therefore, I want to design a camera function. The more food in the picture, the more characters will appear in the picture, and some of them will remind you "pay attention to your calories, you are as fat as me! "

Method
I used 2D animation first to observe the feedback of the doughnut growing plants. Then I used the 3D software and made it again.
Context
Photoshop, After Effect, C4D
Response
My animation theme is food equals environment. In my first scene, I designed a donut island with trees and characters. If the trees are always in the picture, it will be boring, so I want to add a plot where the trees grow out of the island. And the plot where the characters emerge from the donut syrup.
