Actually, this film didn’t start with a drawing but instead with insomnia. I was unable to sleep and I was thinking back on all the animation assignments I had done in the various school programs I had taken. Each class always started with a bouncing ball and I began to riff on that concept and put together a poem and an idea for a short film.
I eventually got out of bed. I had to write the poem down and get it out of my head if I ever wanted to sleep. A few days later I decided to begin my storyboard. This was the first drawing of the opening shot. While simple, this ended up being one of the most complicated elements. More to come on that…
