Yoka

I stumbled across this wonderful video found on 43Rumors entitled 'Yoka'.
It personally documents the creation of this panda, in a very loving and beautiful manner. Worth the watch.

She filmed the video with a GF1 + Lumix 20mm f/1.7 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 (both handheld & tripod) and Nokton 50mm f/1.1 (where the wonderful tilt-shift effects are), and edited with iMovie (I wouldn't have guessed).


(a quote from her client)
"I'm thinking of something colorful (as with your typical palette). Maybe with a slight emphasis on orange & light blue/aqua colors. I want the piece to portray the emotions of happiness, laughter, compassion, love & connection (like a circle of life or we are all connected in some spiritual way). I like whimsical & natural elements (animals, tulips, trees, butterflies...) which is I adore your work! I also have not yet looked into a blank custom toy. Do you happen to know of any pandas? Can you paint a panda or several pandas? "
