Once Upon Us

Once Upon Us press kit

Once Upon Us turns 3 to 60 photos of a couple, from the first date to today, into a 1 to 5 minute animated film of their story. They pick one of six styles and their characters; every photo is redrawn in that style and brought to life as a 5-second moving scene, in order, opened with their names, with their words on screen, one of four songs and their closing line. It is made as a gift for anniversaries, Valentine's Day, weddings and proposals.
