In an enchanted forest, let’s follow the journey of a fox and a swallow.

Create a world that looks mesmerizing, feels alive and lived-in. Every creature, every shift in light, every ripple of movement serves the enchantment and the delicacy of the illustrated landscapes.

To accomplish this, we built a rich ecosystem of natural elements: animals, foliage, and atmospheric effects that could inhabit the forest with life. Each asset needed careful animation, gentle enough to preserve the dreamlike quality.

The precision came in the layering. Compositing these elements required technical precision with artistic restraint. Under Hugo’s art direction we grounded the beauty of the animation in lived detail: reflections shimmering in the water, soft shadows falling across snow, the weight of winter settling into the frame.

The result: Breeze moves between visual wonder and tangible presence, a world you could almost step into.
