Collaborating with Houses in Motion on animated projects for Scholastic Book Fair was exciting and nostalgic. Drawing from our childhood memories of excitement when the book fair truck arrived, we infused that magic into our animations. Together, we created visuals that promote the book fair and encapsulate the wonder and joy of discovering a lifelong love of reading, bringing that particular excitement to a new generation.

We went on a magical journey with well-loved characters from Scholastic books, animating them in a 3D paper-crafted world based on their stories. We followed the book fair's truck through this imaginative landscape, ultimately arriving at an elementary school where we enjoyed a fun-filled book fair celebration.
