That kind of horrible beautiful moment.

Another frame from my animatic.

I think this drawing quite easily sums up my whole film.
My friend and mentor Steve commented recently that the subjects I always seem drawn to and animate the best are ones that are unhappy, uncomfortable, or awkward about something in that moment. I don't know what that says about me, but I've come to agree that's true. To me they're the most challenging things to animate and the hardest thing to capture honestly and sincerely.
Figures I'm working on a film about all that times 10.
In other news, I'm steamrolling ahead on this animatic again. Cut out the rendering, hell I didn't even draw the background into this scene. I just want to get done with it! I want to start the keys already!
