Project Title:
Luna’s Journey: From Green to Grey.
Story Summary
The story follows Luna, a curious character living in a vibrant, green forest. In the beginning, Luna explores her peaceful envionment, filled with nature and soothing sounds. As the story progreses, the atmosphere slowly darkens trees vanish, smog appears, and Luna finds herself in a noisy, polluted city. In the end, Luna reflects on the loss and delivers a message encouraging awareness and care for the environment.

Style
The project uses a soft, cartoon style aesthetic. The forest scene is bright and filled with greens, while the city scene is grayscale and smoggy. The animation uses gentle movemets, fades, and expressive body language to tell the story. Inspiration comes from environmental short films and 2D side scroller games.
