Happy Birthday
A birthday video that feels handmade, not generated. Wobbly hand-drawn balloons, cake and candles, photo polaroids on a string, and sticky-note wishes from everyone, all in soft pastels and timed to a gentle dissolve. Drop in the name, age, a few photos, and the messages, and it signs off like a card.

The 12 scenes
A closed catalog — the agent picks from these, never invents new ones.
The card front: the birthday person's name huge and hand-underlined, a warm greeting, bunting across the top, and a few balloons drifting up.
A bouquet of hand-drawn balloons drifting up past a short message.
A banner word framed by bunting garlands top and bottom with a light confetti fall.
One photo in a tilted polaroid with washi tape and a handwritten caption, plus an optional little note and a drawn heart beside it.
Two to four photos pegged to a drooping string with clothespins, gently swaying.
One photo in a hand-drawn circle or heart vignette beside a warm memory sentence.
A big hand-written wish, underlined in the spot color, with a small drawn heart.
A hand-drawn layered cake whose candles light and flicker; optionally they get blown out near the end with little smoke curls.
The age as a huge playful number with a gentle confetti burst and sparkle.
A wrapped gift whose lid pops off to reveal a message, with a little confetti burst.
A grid of short handwritten notes from friends and family on tilted pastel cards.
The closing signature page: a closing line, a hand-underline, and a signed 'love, ___' with a heart.
