Friends

At the initial stage of the project concept, the team members had different topics they wanted to explore. After multiple rounds of idea selection and discussions, we decided to develop the concept around the theme "Encounters may not always lead to results, but they always have meaning."
In the early stages of the artwork, we referred to American styles, hoping to capture the warmth of a hand-drawn aesthetic. Ultimately, we focused on a Japanese-style approach, presenting more refined background art. The scenes and character animations were created using digital illustration techniques, and special effects were added during post-production to enhance the richness of the visuals.
The story is centered around a raccoon who, after meeting a puppet, shifts from being shy and introverted to overcoming his initial fear and confusion. He sees the puppet's desire to return to its owner and decides to help it.
Throughout their journey, through various encounters and events, they develop a bond. This emotional buildup is contrasted when they meet a little girl who rejects the raccoon and puppet. In the end, the raccoon decides to take care of the puppet and cherishes it as his "friend" with great care and devotion.
