USS Hornet (CVS-12) was an Essex-class aircraft carrier built for the United States Navy during World War II and completed in late 1943. Her primary mission, along with the task group, was detecting and, if necessary, destroying enemy submarines.
I grew up listening to my stepfather's stories as a Navy Veteran aboard the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier. His memories were even more vivid as he paired his fascinating stories with the Hornet-62 cruise book. The book features anecdotes and photographs of the carrier's task group and the assigned missions during its deployment. I often see these books as movies, waiting to be watched one page at a time. Historical books such as Hornet-62 continue to fascinate me to this day. I particularly enjoy the textures and subtle imperfections of the film photographs. I find it fascinating to imagine the static illustrations, maps, photographs, and other intricate details in motion as I turn each page.

Original Hornet cruise book.
I took on the mission to design a motion sequence for the Hornet-62 cruise book as an alternative way to experience this captivating book in 1 minute. In the creative process, I selected, scanned, and (2D/3D) animated significant moments within the visual narrative of the book as a way to visualize the heroic spirit of Hornet and its crew.
