Toasty.

A deceptively simple idea involving a mixture of 2D cut out paper animation with a real object. I did several tests with the paper fire, to make sure I was happy with the movement before fully committing to the final design. The marshmallow was animated separately so I could safely toast it. This also took a few takes to get the most pleasing toasting effect, which meant trying a few different brands of marshmallow - obviously I ate quite a few too! The addition of some SFX really help sell the cosy feeling of toasting marshmallows over a crackling fire.
