I was commissioned by Lemonade to create a looping animation for their Instagram account under the theme “Connected By Lemonade”. I was free to use anything as long as the animation had a cool transformation, at least one frame had the “pink line” connecting from top to bottom and It was generally pink to fit their branding.

I had the idea of snapping a thin long balloon into a Balloon dog, sort of a magical “How Balloon Dogs Are Made”.

Trickiest part was animating and shaping a Balloon in extreme positions, after many experiments I made a wire skeleton and glued it to a balloon dog that I made from different parts, this allowed to move and pause the dog in many positions without it popping. I also used wire inside inflated balloons to shape and create my in between frames during the transformation.
