Lost Smile

We just produced this video about a girl who lost her smile, then found it again, through her memories captured with friends and family. I guess it really wasn't missing... it was there all along. (the music is a toe-tapper)



I thought the way the video was animated with the drawing of the girl was cool and I wanted to have some fun with it. So I got a copy of the drawing that was used and printed it to cut out and pose around the office.



Here she is searching for her smile amongst the ketchup and half drank bottles of waters in our office fridge.



She might think her smile is lost in the jungle but she is actually in our office pet plant (which could use some water).

I would love to see where else this girl might be looking for her lost smile. You can download her here, print her out and pose her around town for photos. Then upload your photos here to share!



I also created a Lost Smile poster. If you think there is a lack of smiles around you, you can download the poster here for printing and hanging. Hopefully it will bring a smile to someone's face.

Comment: Great job Jenny, brings me back to Grad school. Like Joel, my fav part was the roll up to go under the covers.

Comment: Nicely done! Great story and very creative. How long did it take? Lots of stop motion work. I assume it was all shot using still captures on a Zi8. I love picking up the dog and the rollup to go under the covers.
