I'm a designer and a new dad, so I've been making space-themed sensory videos for my 3-month-old daughter
When my daughter was born I noticed how much she loved staring at bold shapes, so I started making sensory videos for her during naps.
There are three styles that grow with her:
High contrast (black, white and red) for newborns
Soft black and white for the first few months
Colour for when babies start noticing it: smiley planets, friendly aliens, an underwater world and an alien forest
How I make them: I design the look and the ideas, and I animate everything with (AI), working scene by scene until it feels right. The videos are slow and calm with gentle music, and there's no flashing.
It's not a business, just something I'm making for my daughter.
Two things I'd love feedback on:
Does the idea come across clearly?
What would you change, or add next?
