One Lovely Day," a mixed-media film by Hornet Director Andy Baker, celebrates global holiday gifting with 2D artistry, featuring celebrity ambassadors like Millie Bobby Brown, Coco & Breezy, and the Pandora Muses.
For Andy, this was an exciting challenge. He’s a director known for character-focused 2D animation mixed with bold colors and a love of 90’s art, street-skate style, and music culture. But to refine that style a bit—to create something a little more realistic, even a little more feminine and fashion-oriented—was a great way for Andy to expand his portfolio and showcase his range. The most fascinating design challenge came from molding together the real world with the animated one. Piecing together the live action sequences with the animations—and conversely ensuring the animations played nicely with the real world—was a rewarding creative endeavor for Andy.

"All of the ambassadors are so iconic in their own right and it’s so important with character design to really get the essence of each person in there. It’s a balance of shape and line and forms and can sometimes be as simple as taking some lines away or isolating the unique features of each person but not making them too over the top."
