The Story of 1000 Paper Cranes

The United States is influenced by a multicultural ethos of many countries. There are many aspects about our culture that have been influenced by other cultures with heavy history. I wanted to inform people of the history of the Origami Paper Crane and how this folded piece of paper has impacted our Culture. I opted in for a hand drawn stop frame animation to convey the handcrafted authenticity of the Paper Crane. This animation technique allowed me to tell the story of Sadako Sasaki in a way that maintained a calm and peaceful narrative while embracing traditional Japanese style.

A special voice over: The lovely voice you hear in the video is my Grandmother, Hiroko Howe, survivor of the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I opted in for a hand drawn stop frame animation to convey the handcrafted authenticity of the Paper Crane. I used Procreate to draw each frame and Adobe After Effects to sequence and edit the layers. This animation technique allowed me to tell the story of Sadako Sasaki in a way that maintained a calm and peaceful narrative while embracing traditional Japanese style.
