Buried is a second song that Peri has worked with Origami Human for their music video animation. After a couple of virtual meeting, the client and Peri decided to apply 3D space into the design. Peri comes up with an idea to create a tomb for the song "Buried", by designing a 3D space that is full of vector art and play with camera movement. All the designs are referred to client's preferences and their original style.

Same as the first song "I still love you", there are 3 formats for the music animation. From start to finish, Peri created new customised animation to match the idea of Buried. She has created a few mini worms animation, moving flowers, and many extra vector art animation inside the tomb space. She applied lighting and camera movement into the scene to add an extra 3D perspective for their music video.

Peri has also animated the most recent song released by the Origami Human "See You Later". By applying the similar style while following their brand colours and theme's guideline. As client requested to create hands related animation to suit their CD album cover. Peri has designed two 3D hands pointing at each other while spinning in rotation, and combined the hands with smoke animation in multiple layers.

See You Later
Referred to the design of Origami Human's Album Cover, Peri created this spinning hand animation to match their style. Combining the spinning hand with smoke in multiple layers was fun. Peri uses the mask feature in After Effects while duplicated the hand animation in multiple layer to create this visual effects. As this was a tight deadline project, Peri and her client agreed to keep it neat, while maintain the vintage and psychedelic themes.
