Hands up for Say YES!

I completed this animated project weeks ago for Annual Giving NUS. It's hosted up on their website for a limited time at http://www.sayyes.nus.edu.sg/seasonsgreetings.shtml.

The requirement for this project was that I had to use animated gifs. Animated gif is cell by cell animation done in Photoshop. The files are low but only has a limit of 256 colours. Timing is of essence as the movement of the hands and the pauses have to feel natural. The concept is from its physical greeting card form which had to cover as many festivals during this time of year.

The tough part of the project was to create the shadows that flowed with the hands.
