ROGER VIVIER // Xmas Greetings

by Anaïs Herd-Smith

CLIENT: ROGER VIVER

PROJECT: Xmas Greetings

DESIGN STUDIO: Pink Salt

DESIGN AND PAPER SCULPTURE: Anaïs Herd-Smith

STOP MOTION: Diurne

YEAR: 2020

BRIEF:

To produce 3 illustrations with micro-animations/ gifs featuring RV logo & music (library) to be sent out together with the creative director’s Best Wish card.

Deliverables:

• One for Xmas celebration

• One for Xmas vacation/season

• One for New year’s eve

IDEA:

3 posts as a 3-part story. Roger Vivier’s mascot lives festive and winter moments in a chic «art deco» setting. This mascot is a cat in various sapphire blues. Her coat made of meticulously cut-out scales stands out against the pink and gold decorations surrounding her. Let’s call this mascot Viviane.

Viviane will be made of paper and assembled entirely by hand. Her 3 doe-like eyes and scales make this cat the most extraordinary cat of the Holiday season.

It is important for Viviane to be surrounded by sumptuous decors. The art deco style blends perfectly with the art of paper and will contrast with the scales.

The concept has been developed where the scenes are animated.

After a few close-up shots of details of de decors, stop motion sequences will take us to the final scene.

To celebrate Christmas, seasons and New Year’s Eve Viviane will live different adventures with the

Orangerie tree.
