Creation of a 2D animation teaser inspired by the short story “Las Manos Que Crecen” by Julio Cortázar.
This project consisted of producing a 2D animated teaser based on Julio Cortázar’s short
story “Las Manos Que Crecen”. Our team focused on translating the surreal and symbolic
aspects of the narrative into a visual and animated form, using expressive design and fluid
animation techniques.
The process included scriptwriting, storyboarding, concept art, and character design,
leading into the production of the animation itself. The goal was to create an engaging
teaser that captured the essence of the story while showcasing our skills in 2D animation
and visual storytelling.
We began with pre-production, including script adaptation, storyboard creation, and defining
the artistic direction.
We developed concept art and character design, ensuring that the visuals reflected the
surreal and psychological tone of Cortázar’s work.
Using Toon Boom Harmony, we animated the teaser, focusing on fluid movements and atmosphere
to immerse the viewer in the story’s world.
