    30 Rectangles – A Creative Exercise

    A simple rule:

    • every animation must start or end with a rectangle.
    • One animation per day, maximum three hours of work.
    • No references, no re-touch. Just do it.

    Purpose: get over it and move on.

    Because sometimes what you have in mind doesn’t match the time you have, the client’s taste, or the technical limitations. And yet:

    1.You still have to create something, with what you’ve got.
    2.You can’t be perfect and creative every single day. There are too many variables. But the opposite is also true: sometimes something incredible comes out in little time, with no effort.
    3.Yesterday was another day.

    30 days, 30 rectangles. 30 stories.
