This 3D animated reel never made it to HarperCollins' Instagram… …but I’m still incredibly proud of it. It was a 30-second burst of dynamic smoke simulations, vibrant lighting, and visual storytelling. Every frame was a lesson in creative problem-solving. Every second a reminder that even unpublished work holds value. To the creatives out there sitting on unreleased gems: It still counts. It still matters. It still moves you forward. On to the next one! 🙌
