I’ve been playing with creating a 3D animated fairytale book since I saw a fairytale book opening in Shrek 2 a couple of years ago. After going to so many weddings and receptions, I was getting very tired of seeing the same old photo montages stuck up like a glorified power point presentation – especially as animated projection technology is so commonly available now in theatre productions -and what is a wedding but a big show!

So back at the studio, we used my upcoming wedding anniversary as an excuse to create a 3D book with photo montage to give to my husband.

We used a 3D programme called Maya to create the book. I selected some meaningful photos and wrote a short story about our relationship. I even added our song that we used in our wedding ceremony as the backing track.

It took a few weeks to iron out all the technical issues but I did manage to give it to my husband for our anniversary! Of course he loved it and now I’m looking at doing one for my honeymoon photos as well.
