In teams of two (or three), overlay an animated story or a piece of animated information (motion graphics) into the real world using Adobe After Effects, Aero, and augmented reality.
After watching various animation works from the list, these are the top 3 that really spoke to me.
The story in this one really spoke to me. It draws a distinct parallel to real life—addiction and losing sight of what really matters. The animation doesn't tell you directly what it's about but it lets you infer from the allegories and metaphors present in the story.

I was captivated by the fluid movement between different objects in this animation. It really drew me in and gave it a playful vibe. To me, it was a really effective storytelling device, as it keeps your attention with the playful and smooth movements.

The message is amazing and the use of cut outs and collaging technique coupled with 2D drawings gives the whole animation a unique style of storytelling.

Inspired, I wanted to have a story that drew a parallel to the real world, similar to Tend, where it doesn't tell you right away what it's about or what the "lesson" is; but rather make you feel and infer from the storytelling.
Here's my rough concept in the early stages of conceptualizing:
