My partner Nakyung and I started brainstorming a few directions we could go with this project. Our ideas included expanding on our Synthetic Media and a fruit peeling experience, but ultimately we were limited by animating 2D assets. Two ideas we independently had was an interactive AR door, and a comics experience where you could place any two inanimate objects and have them have a dialogue.

We decided to combine these two ideas, and have two inanimate objects interact between a door!

Final storyboard!

Our final concept uses a simple knock knock joke, and uses physical leaves as props. Hopefully once we get a formula down, we can expand to other objects and text, and add things like sound effects or other visual effects. Looking forward to expanding this concept in the coming weeks!
