English Engagement Story Video — Timeline from 1991 to 2016 with hand-drawn couple animation
The video unfolds as a simple, hand-drawn timeline spanning 25 years. It opens on 1991: a child lies face-down on a hospital bed in a sparse room, with a chair and medical equipment sketched in grey lines on a pale background. A vertical dotted line runs down the centre of the frame, marking the passage of time.
The second frame shifts to 2013 and splits the screen. On the left, a stick-figure child holds a yellow umbrella in the rain outside Simhad College of Engineering in Pune, with blue diagonal lines representing rainfall and grey clouds above. On the right, another figure rides a bicycle toward Amity University in Noida, shown as a faded building silhouette. The line divides their separate journeys.
By 2016, the scene moves to what appears to be a grand institutional building—columns and arched doorways rendered in soft grey. Two stick figures, now drawn with colour (one in blue, one in yellow), stand on opposite sides of the dotted line, facing each other. The distance between them closes visually.
The final frame shows both figures side by side, holding up a large rectangular banner together. The banner is coloured pale orange and blank, ready to receive text. The figures now stand united at the bottom of the frame. On-screen text reads "First Meet Taj Hotel, Surat 28th Feb 2016"—marking the moment their story becomes shared.
The animation style is childlike and spare: thin black outlines, minimal colour (blues, yellows, pinks, pale orange), and hand-drawn lettering. The timeline device—marked by the vertical dotted line and year labels—creates the narrative structure, showing separation, parallel paths, convergence, and finally, union. The background remains consistently textured and off-white throughout.
