The girl in this SCADshorts video [drew a cake, a kite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-drawing-ideas) and an alternate universe into which to travel. SCADshorts is a creative video production project by a group of alumni of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Each month, they release a new video short created by their artists. This short above is titled "Scribe Conjures Alternate Dimension." **Implications** - The catchphrase for this little creation is even memorable, "He'll help you draw, he'll help you erase; waste not want not...he's Pencil Face." If that wasn't so frightening, i'd lock in my brain as a nighttime lullaby for future children. Check out the video to see for yourself. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Living Pencils as Creative Tools:** The concept of living pencils that turn drawings into reality can be explored as a potential tool for creativity in various applications, such as art, advertising, animation, and gaming. - **Interactive Storytelling:** The animated short film showcasing the concept of living pencils presents opportunities for interactive storytelling in media and entertainment, such as video games, augmented reality, virtual reality, and interactive installations. - **Innovative Learning Tools:** Living pencils can potentially be developed as innovative educational tools that stimulate creativity and imagination in classrooms or online learning environments. ### Who This Affects Most - **Advertising:** Living pencils can be utilized as an innovative advertising tool, allowing consumers to interact with brands and product stories in a unique and creative way. - **Gaming:** Living pencils can be incorporated into game design and mechanics to create a unique gameplay experience that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. - **Educational Technology:** Living pencils can be developed as a new form of educational technology that enhances creativity and imagination, potentially transforming the way students learn and express themselves. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stone-Grip Conical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminum-sphere.md) - [Transformative AI Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawings-alive.md) - [Unique Writing Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphite-paintbrush-writing-instrument.md) - [Creativity Time Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-for-creativity.md) - [Imaginative Fantasy-Inspired Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canva-spotlights.md) - [Captivating Stylus Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quill.md) - [Recycled Plastic Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mechanical-drop-pencil.md) - [AI Art Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle2life.md) - [AI Line Drawing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pencilify-ai.md)
