Whinny Knickers!

Screen Shot from Heart of the Matter, Cowgirl, Horse and shadow by Barbara Bartels and Shannon Silva

Today I finished Vivian's owl and began Barbara's cowgirl. The horse galloping sequence came out super cute. Sometimes when doing animation the story unfolds by itself and surprises me. It happened this way today. The interaction between the horse, cowgirl and cowgirls shadow played out so sweetly. I really like how it turned out. This project feels like it is making itself. It has its own momentum. Whenever I step into it the energy moves!

Tomorrow I will finish Barbara's cowgirl and start Ziggy's three characters. My idea is to have each character morph into the next character, representing the way Ziggy descriped the process of their creation. I may have to give her a jingle to confirm which one goes first.

Quick update. I just texted Ziggy and we will talk on the phone tomorrow. See what I mean? This thing wants to be made!
