We are on Instagram

Our scenes are made to be seen moving. A still picture of a save the date that paints itself in watercolour does not say much; ten seconds of it does. So Zendegi.Studio now has an Instagram account: @zendegi.studio.

What you will find there

• Every template, in motion. Each one is recorded frame by frame, as a feed post or a Reel, so it stays sharp on your phone.
• New scenes first. When we paint a new season or a new city, it shows up there before it reaches the templates page.
• Small details up close. The wheels of the convertible, the snow on the street lamp, the date settling into the sky.
• Work in progress. Sketches, colour tests and the moments where a scene almost works, then finally does.

Why Instagram

It is where most couples collect ideas for their wedding, and where guests already scroll. Mood boards, venue tours, dress fittings, cake tastings: a lot of wedding planning now happens one swipe at a time. We would rather show you our work there than ask you to come and find it.

It is also the closest thing to the real experience. Your guests will not open your save the date on a large screen at their desk. They will open it on their phone, from a message, probably standing in a kitchen or waiting for a bus. A vertical video on Instagram is exactly that size and exactly that moment.

How we record the scenes

Screen recordings of animation are often blurry or jerky, which is the opposite of what we want to show. So we do not film the screen. Each demo is played frame by frame, every frame is captured on its own, and the frames are put back together into a video at full quality. Nothing is skipped, nothing is smudged by compression on the way in.

We record in the shapes Instagram shows best: 4:5 for feed posts, which is the tallest a post can be without being cropped, and 9:16 for Reels and Stories. When a scene does not fit a shape, we fix the scene rather than crop it, so the names and the date are never cut off.

What we will post

• A new scene each time one is ready.
• Short close-ups of a single detail, like the moment a seal breaks or a window lights up.
• The same scene in English and in French, because both versions are equally finished.
• Now and then, the story behind a scene: the place that inspired it, and the small decisions that make it feel real.

We will not post countdowns, giveaways or anything that asks you to hurry. That is not how anyone should plan a wedding.

What to do with it

Follow us, save the scenes you like, and send them to the person you are marrying. Collections are a good way to keep a shortlist: one for the save the date, one for the invitation, one for the ideas you are not sure about yet.

When you are ready, every one of those scenes can carry your names, your date and your place. That is the part Instagram cannot show you: your own wedding, painted in.
