For our guests you know we had a plethora (a plethora?) of videos playing on the plasma TVs throughout the wedding reception. Many of you requested to have these posted so here is the first….Spivian Origins - the animated cartoon of how Viv and Spencer first met.

Once again big props to the animation sensation / storyboard artist guru Seijin for making this happen. Hope you guys like it!

Background: Viv and Spencer met under very unusual circumstances. Rather than tell the story AGAIN of how they met, they wanted to do it in a unique creative way. “Let’s tell our story in a cartoon!” Spencer said. Viv had her doubts but with the help of Spencer’s friend Seijin, a professional film story board artist, they were able to see their vision come true.

While the video is only 6 minutes long, any animator or artist knows the amount it took to make this. Easily over two months of hard work from Seijin. First we (Spencer & Viv) wrote out a script including scene selections and dialogue, met with Seijin to go over shot selection, gave him photos from the night as reference, worked and reworked shots, music and background noise….then once all still art was final, Seijin animated certain sequences…finally we went to their animation studio to do the voice over. All in all it was a fantastic and VERY fun experience. Thanks Seijin for making this happen!
