Puffy the Cloud

The story

Puffy is a small cloud in a big blue sky, and he can't rain. This 16-second children's-book story follows his first storm.

How it was made

Puffy the Cloud was rendered in a 3D animated style with Seedance 2.0 inside ShowMaker Studio.

It opens on an empty sky in a wide shot where the camera doesn't move. There's warm light from the horizon, no music and no sound effects. So the first thing the audience sees is the space Puffy will fill.

What to take from it

Start a children's story on an empty frame. Silence and open sky make the character's entrance the first event.
