Static vs. Animation Valentines

This week it's another Valentine's Day. The day of Love. People will celebrate by going out for dinner, flowers, or saying I love you. For me, we did all three over the weekend. With social media, you can't forget posting-Happy Valentines, and neither can I. I started with Adobe Illustrator and started laying out an idea in my head. Remember, I can only draw freehand of stick people. The following is what I came up with and thus the static image.

While I am happy with the static image, I wonder what this would be like if I could animate it. Make things move. I went back to Illustrator and made every image a separate file, and after this was all completed, and took the file and open in Adobe After Effects. I again played with the layout and came up with the following—the animation of this image.

Now thinking about social media, or you're, let's say, you have something that you want to notice; which one are you going to go with? I really like the animation and am glad I took it to the next level. So I want to take this time and say Happy Valentines Day to everyone.
