Animated short, personal project

For the past year, I’ve been working in secret - waking up early and staying late after work to make sure my partner never suspected a thing. Keeping it a surprise was the hardest part, but the reveal had to be unforgettable.
I created this animation for our First Date Anniversary, weaving in personal anecdotes, inside jokes, and a whole lot of heart. It all built up to the perfect moment to ask a very important question...
