A storyboard illustration depicting the story of a couple and a mysterious box.

Inspired by a little witch telling stories at night, I created an illustration that was transformed into an animated graphic using motion graphics. The overall blue hue evokes the night and the moon held in her hands. The aim was to showcase the illustration's decorative elements and cohesive color scheme while providing both visual dynamism and a static aesthetic, narrating an engaging and whimsical story.
