A Tale for the Time Being is an animated book trailer meant to promote and generate interest for the book. It is based on the novel written by Ruth Ozeki, A Tale for the Time Being.
This project aims to give the audience a glimpse into the book and convey the tone and mood of the story in hope that the viewer will be enticed to pick up the book and read it. We used a painterly 2.5D motion graphic style of animation to capture moments in the book transition across space and time.
